Once king Sagara performed Ashwamedha Yajna.The horse choosen for the Yajna was stolen by Indra in jealousy & tied next to Kapila Muni who was meditating.
The 60000 Sons of Sagara who were searching the horse found it & believing that Kapila Muni has stolen the horse.
@hathyogi1

They disturbed his Tapasya.
Kapila Muni when opened his eyes he cursed them and 60000 Sons of Sagara were burnt to death.

King Bhagiratha, one of the descendant of Sagara learned of this fate and came to know that only River Ganga can give his Ancestor, Moksha.
Bhagiratha performed severe penance to both Brahma and Shiva and please Ganga to come to earth.

When Ganga passing through the Ashrama of Muni Janhu ,the torrential flow of Ganga destroyed his field and also great noise of Ganga disturbed his meditation. The angry sage consumed all the water of Ganga.
@subhra2jyoti

Bhagiratha prayed Janhu to released Ganga so that she could proceed forward. Janhu Muni accepted his prayer and released Ganga through his ear.
Hence Ganga Known as JAHNAVI.
