Now you have become divine. Even though you may be a man like us, even though you are our friend, even though you are a son, even though you are our younger brother, our older brother, you are no longer a human being like us, we no longer see you as merely human.

[Cuauhtlactli] tetech
Quizqui, teneneuhca,
Temaxallo, tetech quiza,
Tenenhuilia, tetoquilia,
Tlatoquilia.

[the term `Tree Trunk']
Has come from people; it
Resembles people;
It derives from people;
It proceeds from people;
It is a continuation.

One of the texts come from Sahaguns's work. In discussing the name given to the city of Teotihuacan, he states:

And it was named Teotihuacan, "the city of teotl," that
is "god", because they held that that the lords who were buried there were canonized as gods after their deaths, and that they did not die, but awakened from a dream in which they had lived. Therefore, the ancients said that when they died, men did not perish, but began to live again almost as if awakened from a dream, and that they became spirits or gods.

They said to them , "Lord, lady, awaken, now it is beginning to dawn, now it is daybreak; the yellow, plumed birds are beginning to sing, and now the multicolored butterflies are flying." And when someone died they were accustomed to say that now he was teotl, which meant that he had died in order to become a sprite or a god.
And the ancients believed, on their self-deception, that when the lords died, they became gods. So they would be feared and obeyed the rulers said that some became a Sun, others the Moon, and still other planets.
