धातकीखण्ड द्वीपके पूर्व मेरुसे पश्चिम की ओर जो विदेह क्षेत्र हैं उसमें एक अशोकपुर नामका नगर है । उसमें आनन्द नामका एक उत्तम वैश्य रहता था उसकी स्त्रीके एक आनन्दयशा नामकी पुत्री उत्पन्न हुई। किसी समय आनन्दयशाने अमितसागर मुनिजके लिए आहार दान देकर पञ्चाश्वर्यं प्राप्त किये। इस दानजन्य पुण्यके प्रभावसे वह आयु पूर्ण होनेपर उत्तरकुरुमें उत्पन्न हुई, वहां सुख भोगनेके बाद भवनवासियोंके इन्द्रकी इन्द्राणी हुई और वहाँ से च्युत होकर यहाँ उत्पन्न हुई हूँ । इस प्रकार रानी यशस्वतीने अपने पति राजा हेमाभके लिए बड़े हर्ष से अपने पूर्वभव सुनाये । तदनन्तर, रानी यशस्वती किसी समय सिद्धार्थ नामक वनमें गई, वहाँ सागरसेन नामक मुनिराज के पास उसने उपवास ग्रहण किये। आयुके अन्त में मरकर प्रथम स्वर्ग में देवी हुई । तदनन्तर वहां की स्थिति पूरी होनेपर इसी जम्बूद्वीपकी कौशाम्बी नगरीमें सुमति नामक सेठकी सुभद्रा नामकी स्त्रीसे धार्मिकी नामकी पुत्री हुई ।। ४३२-४३७ ।। यहाँपर उसने जिनमति आर्थिक के दिये हुए जिनगुणसम्पत्ति नामके व्रतका अच्छी तरह पालन किया जिसके प्रभावसे मरकर महाशुक स्वर्ग में देवी हुई। बहुत समय बाद वहांसे चयकर वीतशोकनगरके स्वामी राजा मेरुचन्द्रकी चन्द्रवती रानीके रूप, लावण्य और कान्ति आदिकी खान यह गौरी नामकी पुत्री हुई है । स्नेहसे भरे, विजयपुर नगरके स्वामी राजा विजयनन्दनने यह लाकर तुझे दी है और तू ने भी इसे पट्टरानी बनाया है । इस प्रकार गणधर भगवान्‌ने गौरीके भवान्तर कहे जिन्हें सुनकर श्रीकृष्ण हर्षको प्राप्त हुए ।। ४३८-४४१ ॥
तदनन्तर- गुणोंकी खान, गणधर देव, लोगोंका मन हरण करने वाले पद्मावती के पूर्व भवों का सम्बन्ध इस प्रकार कहने लगे ।। ४४२ ।। इसी भरतक्षेत्रकी उज्जयिनी नगरी में राजा विजय राज्य करता था उसकी विक्रान्तिके समान अपराजिता नामकी रानी थी। उन दोनोंके विनयश्री नामकी पुत्री थी । वह हस्तशीर्षपुरके राजा हरिषेणको दी गई थी। विनयश्रीने एक बार समाधिगुप्त मुनिराजके लिए बड़े हर्षसे आहार दान दिया था जिसके पुण्यसे वह हैमवत क्षेत्र में उत्पन्न हुई । चिरकाल तक वहाँके भोग भोगकर आयुके अन्त में वह चन्द्रमाकी रोहिणी नामकी देवी हुई। जब एक पल्य प्रमाण वहांकी आयु समाप्त हुई तब मगध देशके शाल्मलि

In the Mahapurana, Uttara Purana,
In the Dhaataki Khand, east of Meru, in the Videha region, there is a city called Ashoka Pura. There lived a wealthy merchant named Anand. His wife gave birth to a daughter named Anandayasha.
Anandayasha, having given food to the Jina Amit Sagar, attained the five wonders. Due to the merit of this donation, she was born in Uttara Kuru at the end of her life. After enjoying happiness there, she became the queen of the Bhavan Vasi Indra. From there, she was born here. Thus, Queen Yashasvati told her husband, King Hemabha, about her previous births with great joy.
After that, Queen Yashasvati went to a forest called Siddhartha. There, she observed a fast in the presence of the Muni Raja Sagar Sena. At the end of her life, she became a Devi in the first heaven. After completing her stay there, she was born as the daughter of a wealthy merchant named Sumati, named Dharmikee, from his wife Subhadra in the city of Kaushambi in this Jambudvipa.
Here, she diligently followed the vow of Jina Guna Sampatti given by Jina Mati Arthika. Due to its influence, she became a Devi in the Maha Shuka heaven after death. After a long time, she was born as the daughter of King Meru Chandra, the ruler of Veet Shoka Nagar, named Gauri, from his queen Chandravati. She was a mine of beauty, grace, and radiance. The affectionate King Vijay Nandana, the ruler of Vijayapura Nagar, brought her to you, and you made her your queen. Thus, the Ganadhar Bhagwan told Gauri's past births, which made Shri Krishna happy.
After that, the Ganadhar Dev, the mine of virtues, who captivates the minds of people, began to tell the story of Padmavati's past births.
In the same Bharat Kshetra, in the city of Ujjayini, King Vijay ruled. His queen was Aparajita, who was as invincible as his valor. They had a daughter named Vinaya Shree. She was given to King Harishena of Hastashirsha Pura. Vinaya Shree once gave food to the Muni Raja Samadhi Gupta with great joy. Due to the merit of this donation, she was born in the Hemavat region. After enjoying the pleasures there for a long time, she became the Devi Rohini of the moon at the end of her life. When her lifespan there, equivalent to a Palya, ended, she was born as the daughter of Padma Devi in the village of Salmali in the Magadha country.
She was the wife of Vijay Dev and once, in the presence of Varadharma Yati, she took a vow.
