Back to God Head

As there was a climatic moment at the combat between Sankhacuda (Tulsi's Husband) and Maha Kali released Brahmastra at the Danava King who retalliated with another Brahmastra with the result was a nought.

Then Devi Kaali intiated the Mantra to release ‘Pashupataastra’ when a Celesial Voice was heard to say: King Shankhachooda is a ‘Maha Purusha’ (Illustrious Noble Being) and Pashupataastra should not be released against him, since he would not be killed by it.

In fact, as long as a

1. ‘Kavacha’(Shield) given by Shri Hari was carried on his body and as along as his 
2. wife’s ‘Pativratya’(High devotion to her husband) would last, 

the Danava would continue to be indestructible as these were the boons to him by Brahma. Bhadrakali then refrained from attacking the King but concentrated on destroying the rest of the Danavas and their Chiefs and so did the other Devas.

Meanwhile, Bhagavan Vishnu took the form of an old Brahmana and approached for a boon. When Danava King replied that he could grant him anything, the Brahmana asked for the ‘Krishna Kavacha’; the Danava King who abided by his word parted with the Kavacha.

Bhagavan Vishnu then assumed the Form of Shankhachooda and entered Devi Tulasi’s interior room in a delightful mood saying that he won the battle and wished to rest. Devi Tulasi was full of joy and in a celebrating mood of relaxation; the Maya Shankhachooda and Devi Tulasi were happy in their union and thus Tulasi’s ‘pativratya’ got affected.

As both the hurdles of

1.  ‘Krishna Kavacha’ being donated by the Danava King to a Brahmana and 
2. the ruin of Tulasi’s Pativratya by Vishnu impersonating as Shankhacooda were removed, 

it was easy for Mahadeva to terminate the Danava King

Lord Siva then favored Sankhacuda by releasing him from his curse which he got for offending Srimathi Radha Rani , and thus he regained his original form as the cowherd boy Sudama,who returned to Devi Radha’s Rasa-leela party at Goloka as Sudama and Bhagavan Krishna and Devi Radha welcomed him back into their fold.

Adorned with jewels, holding a flute, mounted on a divine chariot, and surrounded by numerous cowherd boys from Goloka Vrndavana, Sankhacuda then flew to the spiritual sky, Goloka, which is full of devotees of Lord Krsna who have various transcendental relationships with Him.

When Sudama saw Srimati Radharani and Sri Krsna, he bowed down to Their lotus feet with devotion. Seeing him, the Divine couple were filled with love for him and, with kind faces and joyful eyes, lifted him up and took him on Their laps.

After this Tulasi also left her physical body, assumed a celestial form and went to Goloka to be reunited with Sudama.
