**First Study: The Appearance of Padmavati and the Dharma-Deshana of Arishta-nemi**
1. "O Jambu! If the Blessed Lord Mahavira, the Ascetic, has explained the meaning of the fourth section of the Antagad Sutra, then what meaning has the Blessed Lord Mahavira, the Ascetic, explained for the fifth section of the Antagad Sutra?"
"O Jambu! The Blessed Lord Mahavira, the Ascetic, has explained ten studies for the fifth section of the Antagad Sutra. They are:
(1) Padmavati (2) Gauri (3) Gandhari (4) Lakshmana (5) Susima (6) Jambavati (7) Satyabhama (8) Rukmini (9) Mulasri (10) Muladatta."
"O Jambu! If the Blessed Lord Mahavira, the Ascetic, has explained ten studies for the fifth section of the Antagad Sutra, then what meaning has he explained for the first study?"
"O Jambu! At that time, in that era, there was a city called Dwaraka. As described in the first study, Vasudeva, the son of Kansa, was living there. At that time, a goddess named Padmavati, beautiful in form, was born to Kansa, Vasudeva.
At that time, in that era, the Arhat Arishta-nemi, the great ascetic, was living in the forest, practicing self-control and austerity. He was living in the forest, having left Kansa, Vasudeva. At that time, Padmavati, the goddess, was living in the forest, having been abandoned by her parents. She was living in the forest, like a goddess, beautiful and adorned.
At that time, the Arhat Arishta-nemi, seeing Padmavati, the daughter of Kansa, Vasudeva, preached the Dharma to her. She was pleased with his words."
