In the Harivamsha Purana,

Dharmamati, a daughter born to Sumitra, wife of the merchant Subhadra in Kaushambi, was always devoted to Dharma. || 101 ||

Dharmamati, having received the tapas named Jinaguna from the Jina-mati, observed a fast and as a result, became the beloved of the Indra of the Mahashukra heaven. || 102 ||

After living for twenty-one palyas, she was reborn as Gauri, the daughter of Chandra-mati, the wife of King Meruchandra in the city of Vitashoka. || 103 ||

"You will attain liberation in three bhava," having been told this, Gauri bowed down to the Lord. Then, Padmavati, the eighth queen of Krishna, also asked about her previous birth. In response, the Lord told her about her previous birth as follows: || 104 ||

In the city of Ujjayini in this Bharat Kshetra, there once lived a king named Aparajita. His wife was Vijaya, and they had a daughter named Vinayashri. || 105 ||

Vinayashri was married to King Harishena of Hastinapur. One day, she, along with her husband, gave food to the Muni-raja Varadatta. || 106 ||

Once, while she was sleeping with her husband in the inner chamber, she died due to the smoke of the Kala-guru. After death, she became an Arya with a lifespan of one paly in the Haimvata region. After enjoying the pleasures there, she was reborn as Chandra-prabha, the wife of Chandradeva. There, her lifespan was one-eighth of a paly. From there, she was reborn as Padma-devi, the daughter of the couple Devila and Jayadeva, in the village of Salmali-khanda in the Magadha country of the Bharat Kshetra. || 107 - 109 ||

Once, she took a vow from the Acharya named Vardharma that she would not eat any unknown fruit for the rest of her life. || 110 ||

One day, a powerful Bhil named Chandabana, who was known for his cruelty, attacked the village of Salmali-khanda and abducted all the people there. || 111 ||

He also captured Padma-devi and took her to his prison. He wanted to make her his wife, but the virtuous Padma-devi, through some strategy, rejected him. || 112 ||

At that time, the king of Rajagriha, Simharatha, killed Chandabana in the forest. The people were relieved. || 113 ||
