Section 8. Account of Mavunje-chanduvolu vi'lage. * 

 Legendary statement of its names, in the three first ages. It was 

 called Chanduvolu in the Cali-yvgam. After the commencement of the 

 era of Salivahana, several f ines were constructed, with various appur- 

 tenances, by Kulottuv ga-chola In S. S. 903* there was a Jaina ruler. 

 In S. S. 1215, Pratdpa-rua'ra ordered some addiiicnal matters, for the 

 advantage of the fane, to be constructed. The rale of the Reddis follow- 

 ed. In S. S. 1250 they had erected a fort ; and they ruled from S. S. 1300 

 down to S. S. 14S6. The Mahomedan authority followed, under the 

 Nizam Ali Mulk. The district was made over to the French, The 

 mention otSatyanafhan, and his successor, as Roman Catholic minis- 

 ters of religion occurs. On the defeat of the French, the English power 

 succeeded. Some new fanes were constructed. A few details on this 

 latter point conclude the paper. 



Sectlcn 9. Account of the village of Chelrolu. 



Other names in previous Yugas : called Chebrolu in the Cali-yvgam. 

 Tribhuvan i-deva-rnaHa-roja of the Chulitkiyas, coming to bathe in the 

 Godavery river, made, at the instance of his minister, a donation to the 

 fane, commemorated by an inscription. The Jaiuas were numerous, in 

 those days : and this village was sometimes called Jainabrolu. Rudra- 

 deva of the Kakati race, added much to the fane, in referen e to Saioa 

 emblems. Nothing farther particular occurs, down to the Mahomedan 

 rule. 



Remark. — The condition of this book was so bad, by reason of injury 

 from damp and insects, that I doubted the practicability of its restoration. 

 It has however, on the whole, been successfully effected ; and though 

 the details are but of minor interest; yet the investigation will as- 

 sist in estimating the value of similar books. From the. specimens that 

 # have been given, it is found that there is a prevailing uniformity, as 

 to the indicated succession of leading powers in the north: the outlines 

 being the same in all.
