Vishva Lakshmi commissioned the temple of Brahmayani in Panauti and donated lands for funding the regular worship of the goddess.[5][6] There is also a statuette of her at the temple of Brahmani in Panauti.[6] Her last reference comes from a copper plate inscription dated to April 1723 which mentions her donation of some land for funding a ritual worship of Taleju, the tutelary goddess of the Mallas.[7]
