Tulasi dala lakshena karthike yorcha yeddharim
Pathre pathre munishreshta moukthikam labhathe phalam

In Srimad Bhagavatha:
Drushtwa gadhadharam devam kshetre sri purushottame
Yat punyam samavapnothi tulasee darshana chhathath
Visiting Tulasi tree is equally auspicious and beneficial as visiting Hari Kshetram (Harikshetram is a holy place where the presiding deity is Lord Vishnu).
