Once in Vaikuntha, God Vishnu and Goddess Laxmi were spending time together.
At that time, Vishnu said his plan of visiting earth to his wife Laxmi.
Hearing that, Laxmi pressurised her husband to take her along with him.
Vishnu agreed but imposed some restrictions. The restrictions were
1. She never have to look at the northern direction.
2. Whatever Vishnu says, Laxmi has to do it.
Laxmi readily agreed to both the conditions.
Both husband and wife reached earth.
Laxmi was very happy as she has come to earth after so many years.
She was busy looking at the nature and its beauty.
That time, a nice smell caught her attention.
The pleasant smell was coming from the nearby house.
Laxmi hurriedly went near the house. But she had forgotten that the house is in northern direction and she is not supposed to go there.
After reaching the house, she found that the smell is coming from the blooming flower of nearby tree.
Without any hesitation, she plucked the whole flower and came towards her husband Vishnu.
Vishnu was watching all these. He was unhappy with what his wife has done.
As soon as Vishnu met Laxmi, he said Laxmi has to face punishment because
She has gone in northern direction even though she was said not to go.
She had plucked the flower without taking the permission from owner.
As the punishment, Laxmi has to born as the daughter of owner of the flower.
Laxmi returned to Vaikuntha after serving her punishment.
