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.
Jambu dwipa name is mentioned in ancient texts. Also one theory say that numerous Jamun trees used to grow here, so is the name. It is said that religious advisors of Jambu Lochan had given this clan a name "Jamwals" - Jammu wale. As they are desendents of Lord Rama, they are
Suryavanshis.
