The construction of an octagonal tank with arcade which now surrounds the natural spring was commenced by the Emperor Jahangir (1605-27) in 1620 and completed by Shah Jahan (1628-58). Jahangir wished to be buried here.
The brick facing of the majority of the arches, as well as ruins of the walls of the second storey over the entrance chamber, belong to the repairs done by Wazir Punnu in the reign of the late Maharaja Ranbir Singhji
The spring is reputed to be the source of the River Jehlum: "Lord Shiva struck the ground with his trident. Thus, from this spot emerged the goddess Parvati in the form of river Vitasta. The land is protected by Nila (Shiva), the lord of Nagas. Gauri, though she has assumed the form of Vitasta came out from Nilakunda."

پادشاه هفت کشور شهنشاه عدالت گستر
ابو المظفر نور الدین جهانگیر بادشاه ابن اکبر بادشاه غازی
بتاریخ سنه ۱۵ جلوس در این چشمه فیض آمین ناز الاجلال
فرمودند این عمارت بحکم حضرت صورت امام یافت از جهانگیر شاه اکبر شاه
این بنا سر کشیده بر افلاک
بانی عقل یافت تاریخش
قصرآباد و چشمه ویرناگ
1029AH
حیدر بحکم شاه جهان پادشاه دهر
شکر خدا که ساخت چنین آبشار جوی
این جوی داده است, ز جوی بهست یاد
زین آبشار یافته کشمیر آبروے
تاریخ جوی بگفتا سروش غیب
ز چشمه بهشت برون آمدست جوی
1036AH
