- hindoo dharmik granth 'shivapuran' ke anusar tulasi prasiddh danav shankhachoo d ki patni thi. vah sachchi pativrata stri thi. shankhachoo d ne brahma ko tapasya dvara prasann kar liya tha aur unase yah var maang liya ki vah devataoan ke lie ajey ho jaye. varadan pane ke pashchath shankhachoo d ne devataoan se unaka rajy chhin liya. shankhachoo d bhagavan vishnu ki bhakti mean lin rahata tha. usake rajy mean praja poornat: sukhi thi, kiantu devata apana rajy chhin jane se du:khi the. devataoan ne vishnu ki sharan li aur unase shankhachoo d ke vadh ka upay poochha. vishnu ne bataya ki shankhachoo d ki mrityu to bhagavan shiv ke dvara hogi. yuddh hone par shankhachoo d parast hi nahian ho raha tha, tab vishnu ne shankhachoo d ka roop dharan kar usaki patni tulasi ka satitv nasht kar diya aur vahaan yuddhabhoomi mean shankhachoo d shiv dvara mara gaya.
- yah janakar ki vishnu dvara mere sath chhal kiya gaya hai, tulasi ne kaha- "aj apane chhalapoorvak mera dharm nasht kiya hai aur mere svami ko mar dala. ap avashy hi pashan hriday haian, at: ap mere shrap se ab pashan hokar prithvi par rahean." tab bhagavan vishnu ne kaha- "devi. tum mere lie bharatavarsh mean rahakar bahut dinoan tak tapasya kar chuki ho. ab tum is sharir ka tyag karake divy deh dharanakar mere sath anand se raho. tumhara yah sharir nadi roop mean badalakar gandaki namak nadi ke roop mean prasiddh hoga. tum pushpoan mean shreshth tulasi ka vriksh ban jaogi aur sada mere sath rahogi. tumhare shrap ko saty karane ke lie maian pashan (shaligram) banakar rahooanga. gandaki nadi ke tat par mera vas hoga. nadi mean rahane vale karo doan ki de apane tikhe daantoan se kat-katakar us pashan mean mere chakr ka chihn banaeange. dharmalujan tulasi ke paudhe v shaligram shila ka vivah kar puny arjan kareange.
