In the Padma Purana, a sage named Lakshmitilaka, who was filled with great compassion and had a clear understanding of the impermanence of the world, became a disciple of the great sage, Singhvahana. ||15|| He diligently followed the proper vows as prescribed by the Jinas, and through contemplation on impermanence and other such truths, he purified his mind. ||159|| He practiced austerities that were beyond the capacity of ordinary people, and he endured the burning heat of the sun. He always held fast to the three jewels, which are the source of true liberation. ||160|| Although he was capable of preventing harm due to the various powers he had attained, he remained calm and endured the suffering inflicted by his enemies, who were like fierce lions. ||161|| When his lifespan came to an end, he entered into a state of pure meditation and, piercing through the celestial realms of the gods, he attained the highest heaven, the Lantva. ||162|| There, he enjoyed the pleasures of that realm, which were in accordance with his desires, and he remained aloof from the knowledge and speech of the deceitful beings. ||163|| Driven by the remaining merit he had accumulated, this great being, who was destined for ultimate liberation and a recipient of happiness, left the Lantva heaven and entered the womb of Anjana. ||164|| Thus, I have described the conception that took place in the womb of your mistress. Now, O Vasantmala, who is devoted to good deeds, listen to the cause of the sorrow that arises from her separation. ||165|| When this Anjana was in the realm of Kanakodara, she had a companion named Lakshmi. Her soul was purified by right faith, and she was always devoted to the worship of the saints. ||166|| She had a statue of the Jina, the Lord of Lords, installed in a part of her house, and she worshipped it with devotion, offering praise with a joyful countenance. ||167|| However, because Kanakodara was a great goddess, she became filled with pride and anger towards her companion. Not only that, she had the statue of the Jina thrown out of the house. ||168|| At that time, a nun named Samyamsri entered her house to beg for alms. Samyamsri was renowned throughout the world for her austerities. ||169||
