The evolution of this place as a centre of culture is recorded in inscriptions. An early Sātavāhana grant of the first or second century a.d. laid its beginnings in a Brahman settlement \[Sk. 263\]. A Kadamba king of the third century imported from the north thirty-two Brahman families and settled them in the Agrahāra of Talgunda, near Belgame. Sk. 177, 178, 185 tell of the growth of the Agrahāra, owning as many as 144 villages, the gift of the Kadama King Mayūravarman.
