When he did that Sati Brindha gave four seeming desecrations to Lord Vishnu to become stone, grass, tree, plant. To wash away this reaction Lord Vishnu took four avatars (incarnations). He became stone (Sri Shaligram) grass (Kush) tree (Pipal) and plant (Tulsi). Since this time the Shaligrams are considered to be most auspicious to behold and to worship.
