Meaning

Vishnu  Stuti - ‘Stuti’ that Vishnu himself recited: 

Vrindaa rupascha vrikshaascha yadaiktra bhavanti cha,

Vidhurbhudaastena Vrindam matpriyaam taam bhajaamyaham/

Puraa babhuva yaa Devi twaadow vrindaavaney vaney,

Tena Vrindaavani khyaataa soybhaagyam taam bhajaamyaham/

Asamkhyeshu cha viseshu pujitaa yaa nirantaram,

Tena Vishwapujitaakhyaam Jagat-pujyaam bhajaamyaham/

Asamkhyaani cha Vishwaani pavitraani yayaa sadaa,

Taam Vishwapaavaneem Deveem virahena smraanyaham/

Devaa na tushtaah pushpaanaam samuhena yaya vinaa,

Taam Pushpa saaraam Shraddhaam cha drashtumicchhaami shokatah/

Vishwey yatpraaptimaatrena bhaktaanando bhaveda dhruvam,

Nandini tena vikhyaataa saa preetaa bhavataabhi mey/

Yasya Devyaastulaa naast Visweshu nikhileshu cha,

Tulasee tena vikhyaataa taam yaami sharanam priyaam/

Krishna jeevana rupaa yaa shaswatpriyatamaa Sati,

Tena Krishna jeevaneeti mama rakkshantu jeevanam/

(When Vrinda tree and another kind of tree look alike, then intelligent persons call the group of trees as Vrinda only! It is that Vrinda who is popular that I pray; my greetings to that auspicious Devi who emerged in ancient times in Brindavana and was called as Brindaavani; I implore that unique tree which is worshipped among innumerable other trees and is called as Vishwa pujita; I greet that universally revered tree in veneration; it is the Pushpasaaraa which is held in high esteem among several other flowers and is meditated by all Devas that I yearn to vision with emotion and anxiety; may Tulasi be kind to me as she is known for spreading happiness around and fulfil one’s desires and that is why her epithet is Nandini. I seek shelter from that Devi whose inherent values are impossible to weigh (tulana) and therefore called Tulasi. It is that Vrinda Swarupa who is considered as Krishna jeevani that protects the life of Shri Krishna!).

Radha Worship

Brahma taught to tulsi the procedure of pleasing Devi Radha by a

1. Shodashopachara Mantra, 
2. Stotra, 
3. Kavacha and 
4. Puja Vidhana.

Tulasi determined to please Radha and performed these. In course of time, Tulasi had dreamt of a handsome youth and on the next day a Yogi called Shankhachooda landed at ‘Badarivana’ who practised Shri Krishna Mantra and Kavacha, thanks to Jaigeeshva Muni.

As Tulasi got his darshan at a common place she was readily got attracted to him and vice versa. They exchanged pleasantries as also serious matters of Vedanta content, especially in the background of both of them being Jatismaras, when Brahma appeared and encouraged their Gandharva Vivaha.

Same Family

Shankhachooda was a staunch Krishna devotee and the latter himself bestowed a talisman which fortified his prowess further. Shri Krishna was no doubt aware that the Danava King was performing all acts of Viciousness, brutality and violence; yet the demon’s staunch devotion to him far outweighed his vices and cruelties to Devas, Maharhis, Sages and Brahmanas.

This situation prompted Bhagavan Shiva to advise the Danava King and mediated peace with Devas. He used all his skills and powers of bringing about rapproachment; he said: ‘Raja! You release the kingdom of Devas and make me and every body happy; you enjoy your own Kingdom and desist from fraternal enemities as

1. Daityas, 
2. Danavaas and 
3. Devatas are all from the 

Kashyapa Muni and the own sisters of

1. Diti, 
2. Danu and 
3. Aditi respectively. ‘Brahma hatya’ and ‘Jaati droha’ would be equally despicable etc.

Unconquerable force in the entire Universe

Having thus conquered the demigods, Jalandhara began to rule the universe, without any competition. Indeed, during his reign over  the Earth, 

1. there was no death for human beings, and no one went to hell. 
2. There were no unfortunate or barren women. 
3. There were no ugly, wicked, distressed or notorious women to be seen. 
4. There were  no wid¬ows, and no poor men, within his kingdom. 
5. Every house was endowed with young and beautiful women. Nobody was harrassed, and all were wealthy.

Even as Shankhachooda was enjoying his new marital life, he was simultaneously warring with Devatas, as he was essentially a Danava and tortured Devas and forcibly dislodged them from Indraloka. He acquired

1. three crore ‘Dhanurdhaaras’/ ace bowmen, 
2. three lakh race horses, 
3. five lakh top rate elephants, Trishula dhaaris, countless chariots, and highly trained Maharathis and virtually became an unconquerable force in the entire Universe.
