Later she saw a youth in her dream who was adorned in beautiful ornaments and had sandalwood paste on his body. Soon Shankhchood came to Badaree Van and was able to attract Tulasee towards him. Brahmaa Jee came and asked them to marry according to Gaandharv method. So they did and started living happily.

Shankhchood was very mighty and powerful Raakshas so he was able to win Devtaa and exiled them from Swarg. Now where to go, so Devtaa went to Vishnu to request Him to kill Shankhchood. Vishnu told them that He could not kill him like that as he had the boon from Brahmaa Jee that he would not die until his armor was broken, and the armor could only be broken when his wife's Paativrat was broken, so there was only one solution to kill him that his wife's Paativrat should be broken. Well, He would find some way to break his wife's Paativrat. He thought to solicit Shiv Jee's help in this matter.

He went to Shiv Jee and told the story of Shankhchood and asked his help in killing him. He told him His plan that while Shiv would be fighting with Shankhchood, as he would be away from his wife, He Himself would try to break his wife Tulasee's Paativrat Dharm and as soon as her Paativrat Dharm is broken, Shankhchood could be killed. Shiv Jee agreed. He gave one Shool (spear) to Shiv Jee and asked him to fight with Shankhchood. In the meantime He Himself went to his wife Tulasee in disguise of Shankhchood. He approached Tulasee and invited her for amorous play. She yielded to him considering her husband, but as she was busy she felt that he was not Shankhchood, a fraud was played on her. She became grief-stricken and inconsolable. She immediately cursed him to be stone because of his stone-hard heart. Then He appeared before her in His real form.

Seeing her Lord she fell at His feet, imploring Him to forgive her. Vishnu, asked her to leave her body and allow her spirit to ascend to Go-Lok. She would, there, become one with Lakshmee. Her body here would be transformed into a holy stream in the Himaalayan ranges and will be called as Gandakee River, and Vishnu would dwell in her bosom as Shaalgraam stones; her tresses of hair would become the sacred plant called Tulasee. The bones of her husband here, Shankhchood, would become the holy conch shell of different types which would be used in the worship of Vishnu.
