( This great prayer is addressed to Vrunda devi who later became the Thulasi(ocimum
sanctum) plant. There is a story that she was doing penance to marry Lord Vishnu and
once when Ravana tried to molest her, she jumped in to the fire and became ash. This
was written by Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura also known as Sri Harivallabha dasa,
who reached Brindavan (the forest of Thulasi plants) and stayed there. )
