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.
