But during the Saluvas rule and also during Thaulavs regin,Sri Vyasatheerthulu a devotee of Vishnu and a Hanumathupasakadu was the Guru of the kings. They all did so and crossed over mountains and forests and reached the present place of Machavaram. Lord Maruti in vanara form asked Sri Vyasatheerthulu to construct a temple at that place and to install the Anjaneya vigraham (idol) with Sankh and Chakra on the either side of the idol.

A small excellent divine idol form with Sindhoora decoration was excavated from the very same place where a peepal tree was existing. Devotees from around Vijayawada throng for darshan, especially on Tuesday. Sri Naidu proceeded to the site indicated by Lord Anjaneya in his dream, with his laborers for digging work. During that time Lord Anjaneya gave him a divine direction by appearing in his dream to excavate the idol from a particular place.  He had arranged for a thatched shed then and there for facilitating the darshan to devotees.
