These are the names of the principle, past and present rulers in the oral tradition of Managuara. This is a segment from the recital of the Cantares del Pinol.

Hear, hear my chanting that here I come with the accounts of our lords and ladies of Manauele, rulers of Managuara. I bring with me the Alforjas with the harvest. Twice my hands and twice my feet I carry in my Alforja.

And once the Great Mother had created the children of corn at the Antawinikil cave, they became many and they inhabited the valleys, the mountains and the sea shores. Manauele was their name, Managuara was their land. There in the cave was the place of the ornaments for the princess and the prince. Three days she walked from the cave to the house by the sea. Great lords and ladies they were.  Eighteen times has passed the Mecate and eighteen time has this song been chanted.
