According to legend, after winning the war of Mahabharata, the Pandavas were going towards the Himalayas carrying Ratnayaksha (who was hanged by Lord Krishna from the banner of his chariot during the Mahabharata war) in a box when they reached Nalsar. They heard a voice there requesting them to take that box to a secluded place. After that, the Pandavas go to Kamarhati with that box. Seeing a sheep herder there, Ratnayayakasha was so impressed that he requested to stay there. He told the Pandavas and the herdsman that he was born at this place and that the woman who gave birth to him used to worship snakes. He was born from her womb, along with nine sons.

Ratnayaksha further said that his mother used to keep him in a box. But one day, this box fell from the hands of a guest lady who came to their house, and all the snake babies fell into the fire.
