According to various scriptures, Bishnu regarded Brindha as his friend after the de@th of Jalandhar. Brindha also urged Bishnu to take her with himself. But Bishnu refused and said, “My wife is Lakshmi, but you will remain forever in my heart”.
Then Brindha asked Bishnu that she would live in the courtyard,which was accepted by Bishnu. Therefore, the Bishnu and Brindha form Basil should keep outside of home.
