According to ancient tradition, Jammu Rajya had a small beginning when Agnigir(also written Agnivaran) the younger son of King Sudarshan(who was 20th in decent in the line of Lord Rama of Ayodhya) migrated from Ayodhya to Shivalik Hills and reached the bank of river Ravi.
He ruled there for long time. His son Vayu-Sharab extended his rule upto Ujh. Next in his line imp. ruler was Agnigarbh. He was very ambitious. He had 8 sons named: Bahu Lochan, Jambu Lochan, Arun Lochan, Kos Lochan, Ram Lochan, Hem Lochan Rupa Lochan and Surg Lochan.
With the help of his sons he extended his rule upto the Tawi. BahuLochan succeeded him. He was killed in a fight with Punjab's ruler.Jambu Lochan became next ruler and avenged his death. Now, some say Jammu name is derived from his name. But there are many other theories also.

When Raja Jas Dev, who has the credit of founding Jasrota, was ruler of Jammu, a strange condition prevailed in Jammu that streets and bazars became infested with scorpians and snakes. Many people died of the bites of these deadly insects. All cooked dishes
of hunted fish in the royal palace became full of insects and scorpians. Raja went to temple, worshipped but nothing availed. Then he dreamt that a white snake came furiously riding a fish. It changed into a human being and acquired a terrible form, holding fish in both of his
hands, snakes entwined around his neck. The king was terrified and he asked his name and his purpose of coming. He uttered that he was Raja Bhairh(Pehr)Dev. He said that Almighty has appointed him the guardian of Jammu territories and his abode is in the water of Tauh/Tawi
