In the Harivamsha Purana, in the city of Vajramushti, Subhadra had a daughter named Sumati. She performed the Ratnavala Tapa, inspired by the Aryika Sundarya. As a result, after death, she became the chief queen of the Brahma Indra, who lived for thirteen Palyas. From there, she fell down and was born in the Bharat Kshetra, on the southern slope of the Vijayardha mountain. In the city of Jambav, ruled by the celestial king Jambav, she was born as the daughter of Jambavati, the beloved wife of Jambav.

She will become a tapaswini in this life, perform austerities, and become a supreme deity in heaven. After falling from there, she will be born as a prince and attain liberation through tapas.

Hearing this from the Lord, Jambavati, whose doubts were dispelled and who was adorned with the ornament of good conduct, bowed to the Jina and sat down, thinking, "I have crossed over the world."

The fourth queen, Sushil, asked the Jina about her past lives with humility. The Jina, with a divine voice that brought joy to the hearts of the assembly, described her past lives as follows:

In the eastern half of the Dhataki Khanda, east of Mount Meru, in the Videha region, there was a country called Mangalavati. In its city of Ratnasamchaya, there lived a king named Vishvasena. His wife's name was Anundhari. This king had a famous minister named Sumati, who was a follower of the Shravaka Dharma.

Once, the king of Ayodhya, Padma Sena, killed King Vishvasena in battle. His wife, Anundhari, was very distressed. The minister Sumati gave her religious advice, but due to her attachment, she could not attain right faith. In the end, she died and became a Vyantari named Jwalanavega, who resided at the Vijayadwar of the Vyantara Deva named Vijay.

She enjoyed happiness there for ten thousand years, then fell down and wandered in the terrible ocean of samsara for a long time.

Later, in the Videha region of Jambudvipa, on the southern bank of the Sita River, there is a beautiful region called Ramya. In its prosperous city of Shaligram, there lived a householder named Yakshil. His wife's name was Devaseena.
