According to the legend, once Lord Vishnu was coming towards the mortal world i.e. earth. Then Goddess Lakshmi requested him to accompany her. Lord Vishnu said that if you ask for my advice then you can come with me. It was only after accepting this that she came to earth.

After reaching a place for some time, Lord Vishnu told Lakshmiji to stay here until I come. After saying this, Lord Vishnu went towards the south. Mother Lakshmi became curious as to what was happening towards the south.

Sri Hari cursed Goddess Lakshmi

Lakshmiji could not control herself and she followed Lord Vishnu. Going ahead, mother saw mustard fields, where she adorned herself with mustard flowers and went ahead and plucked sugarcane in the sugarcane field and started drinking its juice. At the same time, Lord Vishnu also arrived and became angry after seeing Mother Lakshmi.
