- Note
- This inscription is more closely related to the corresponding inscription in the Alma de un condenado en el infierno at the Convento de la Merced del Cusco (PESSCA 5506B) than either one is to the Suspiros de un alma en el purgatorio (PESSCA 5505.1A). Thus, like the inscription in the Mercedarian painting (and unlike the published poem), this inscription has ARDIENDO (rather than EN LLAMAS), and POR SIEMPRE (rather than LO MUCHO QUE). Furthermore, the inscription bears the same central position in the Huaro painting as it does in the Mercedarian painting. And similar points can be made about three of the other four inscriptions in the Huaro painting vis-à-vis its Mercedarian counterpart.
