Some authors have identified Jais with Jais in Raebareli district. A legend identifies it as Jaisalmer. However there are ducumented mentions of Jaiswal Jains prior to the settlement of Jaisalmer. The famous Dubkund Jain inscription of 1088 AD is the earliest mention of the Jayas town. Apabhramsha Jain poet Lakshman composed Jinadatta charitra in sam. 1275 and Anuvaya Rayana Payiiva in sam. 1313, both at Tihuangiri near Bayana. Thus the place Jayas must have been in the vicinity of Gwalior region.
