He soon returns to his retirement in his palace in the Karakorum Mountains. And he never will emerge thence!" solemnly said the Moonshee, adding in a whisper: "He may, by the grace of Buddha, be re-incarnated as the Dalai-Lama. He springs from the loins of kings. I dare not break in upon his awful silence."
Nothing, however, could be more remote from Garcilasso's nebulous half-pagan melancholy; we are no less distant from the pseudonymous nymphs of Cetina and Francisco de la Torre: the elegant Amaryllis of the one, the elusive Filis of the other, though destined to be re-incarnated by a tribe of later poets, find no place in these stately numbers.
Now, we know that many of the Inca's ordinances are regarded with disfavour by the people generally; and I believe that, as a consequence of this, it would not be very difficult to implant in the minds of the discontented a suggestion that the late Villac Vmu made a very serious mistake if, indeed, he did not commit an unpardonable crime in introducing this young man to us as the re-incarnated Manco Capac.
In short, he felt as though he had become a new man, re-born, or re-incarnated, into another world which contained the one he had so far lived in, but which was infinitely vaster in some undefined way which was not yet plain to him.

When his human body becomes old and the Spirit of Buddha strives to extricate itself, special solemn services begin in the Tibetan temples together with the telling of fortunes by astrology. These rites indicate the specially pious Lamas who must discover where the Spirit of the Buddha will be re-incarnated. For this purpose they travel throughout the whole land and observe.
The name Ḳuddus is somewhat difficult to account for, and yet it must be understood, because it involves a claim. As the time for a new divine manifestation approached, these personages 'returned, i.e. were virtually re-incarnated, in order to prepare mankind for the coming great epiphany. 'Ali Muḥammad, however, whom we call the Bāb, did not always put forward exactly the same claim.

I believe that 'The Man of Sin, 'The Antichrist, when he shall be revealed, will be Judas re-incarnated. "Now, beloved, my last word is a very solemn one.
