The formation of the first of these villages was in Sal. Sac. 1340; 

 though a shrine is said to have existed before. The rule of Cftrishna- 

 rayer from Sal. Sac. 1357 to 1387 (A. D. 1435 to 1465) is mentioned; 

 after whom Tirumala-rayer gave the villages to a certain person for his 

 support in Sal. Sac. 1390. By a son of the said individual the other 

 village was formed. Nothing of consequence further occurs.
