According to Montoya, the name ‘Urutau’ means ‘night bird’ and also ‘hawk bird of prey.’ Cadogan records that the Urutau (Nyctibius griseus cornutus) is, in the mythical texts of the Tavyterã and Chiripa, the sister of the Sun and Moon Twins.

The 1685 census records "Don Francisco Uruta absent in the city" and "Cristobal Uruta absent with his wife." Don Francisco had the colonial title "Don" before his baptismal name, revealing that the Spaniards considered him a Guarani leader.

The name "Aguara", according to Montoya, means "fox," and Cadogan records that the Mbyá associate it with the jaguar, while for the Pai Tavyterã, it represents one of the "terrestrial souls" (angüé) that transmigrates.

When the resisters shouted Aguara Guazu's name, this cacique disarmed himself and negotiated with them, convincing them to retreat without eliminating the priest.

On that day in 1629, approximately 300 Guarani warriors arrived to attack the mission and confront Father Pedro Romero.
