Gods narrated Vishnu’s condition to Lord Shiva.
According to Shiv Purana, after killing Jalandhar, peace reigned in the world and all the gods became happy and bowed to Lord Shiva and praised him. After this, the gods told Shiva about the condition of Lord Vishnu. He said, Lord Vishnu captivated Vrinda but due to being suffering from lust, he wore the ashes of her funeral pyre.
After listening to the gods, Lord Shiva said, no one can overcome the illusion that bewitches all the worlds. To break the illusion of Lord Vishnu, you should go to Maya named Shiva, she is my power. After receiving the permission of Lord Shiva, all the gods started worshiping the power that gives happiness to the devotees. After this there was a voice in the sky. The Goddess said, I am situated in three different forms (Gauri from Rajogun, Lakshmi from Satvagun and Tamogun) by three types of gunas.
The Gods started praising the Goddesses by saluting them and after this, being pleased, the three Goddesses became illuminated in all directions. While giving his seeds to the gods, he said that they should keep these seeds under the place where Lord Vishnu is. The gods sowed the seeds under the ground floor of Vrinda’s funeral pyre.
This is how Dhatri, Malti and Tulsi originated.
From these seeds the plants named Dhatri, Malti and Tulsi originated. Lord Vishnu’s disillusionment was dispelled after seeing these female plants. Malati, born from Lakshmi’s part, became famous on earth by the name Barbari. Dhatri and Tulsi became dear to Lord Vishnu. After getting disillusioned in this way, Vishnu ji went to Baikunth Dham.
