Fortunate one, who only once sprinkles milk on the Tulasi, in his house the
goddess of luck will stay for ever.

- Wherever a Tulasi tree spreads, there will stay the gods Brahma,Vishnu, Siva and all other gods. Kesava always stays in the middle, Prajapati on the top and Siva in the stalk of the Tutasi leaves. Who absorbed by devotion honours the Tulasi, honours as well Vishnu, Siva and all the other gods
- Lakshmi, Saraswati,Gajatri, Chandika, Sachi and the other goddesses are staying in the Tulasi flowers,
- Indra, Agni, Samanas, Nairita, Varuna, Pavana, Kuvera live in the branches of this tree.
- Aditya and other planets, all visvas (semi-divine),Vasus, Munis and all Devarishis, the Vidyadhara, Gandharva, Siddha and Apsara go to the Tulasi grove and always stay there.
- Ganga, Yamuna, Narmata, Saraswati, Godavari, Chandrabhaga and all other rivers and holy ghats, as many as there are on earth within the middle of ten million worlds, they all go to the Tulasi forest and make their dwelling there.

Ganges and Yamuna water
bhaksitam lubdhakenapi patram tulasi sambhavam
pascad distantam apanno bhasmi bhutam kalevaram
sita sitam yatha niram sarva papa ksayavaham
tatha ca tulasi patram prasitam sarva kamadam
(Hari Bhakti Vilasa 9/213,214 from Skanda Purana, conversation between Vasistha and King Mandhata)
Even if a most sinful hunter eats a Tulasi leaf and dies afterwards, whatever sins he has in his body turn into ashes. As whitish and blackish water (Ganges and Yamuna water) remove all kinds of sins, in the very same way white (green) and black Tulasis removes all kinds of sins, and if he eats these leaves (after offering them to Lord Krsna), all of his desires are perfectly achieved.
Yamaraja instructs his messengers
tulasy alankrta ye ye tulasi nama japakah
tulasi vana palaye te tyajya durato bhatah
(Hari Bhakti Vilasa 9/133 from Skanda Purana, Kasi khanda, Yamaraja instructs his messengers)
Oh messengers, anybody who is decorated with Tulasi wood or chants Her name, always protects a Tulasi forest, you should give up bringing such persons to my abode.
Real Pilgrimage
hitva tirtha-sahasrani sarvan api siloccayan
tulasi kanane nityam kalau tisthati kesavah
(Hari Bhakti Vilasa 9/116 from Skanda Purana)
In Kali-yuga, Lord Sri Kesava, after giving up thousands of places of pilgrimage and holy days, He resides in the forest of Tulasi-devi.
