Then they gave to Cabracan a bird, and this was his defeat. When he had finished
the bird, they went on their way again until they arrived in the East. There they came to
the great mountain.

But by now the legs and arms of Cabracan had become weak. Never again
would he be strong because of the earth coated on the skin of the bird he had eaten. He
could no longer do anything to the mountains. He did not succeed in causing them to fall
apart.

Then the boys tied him up. They tied his hands behind his back. The boys were
mindful to make sure that his hands were well bound. They also tied his ankles
together. Then they hurled him down into the earth and buried him.

Thus Cabracan was defeated at the hands of Hunahpu and Xbalanque.
Innumerable were their deeds here on the face of the earth.
