र के वर्णन में इनमें से दो-दो श्रावस्ती, हस्तिनापुर, काम्पिल्यपुर और साकेत नगरों में जन्मी थी। सभी ड 5 के माता-पिता के नाम विजया और पद्म थे। सभी अर्हत् पार्श्व के पास दीक्षित हुई थीं। सभी शक्रेन्द्र दी २ की अग्रमहिषियाँ बनीं और सभी की आयु सात पल्योपम की है। 5 77. On asking about the meaning of the first chapter Sudharma Swami
said-Jambu! During that period of time Shraman Bhagavan Mahavir was S R in Rajagriha and people were doing his worship. 5 At that time the goddess named Padmavati was sitting on a throne » named Padma in the Sudharma assembly in the Viman named S P Padmavatansak in the Saudharm Kalp (dimension of gods). All other details 5 are the same as in the case of Goddess Kali.
The details about all these eight goddesses are the same as those concerning goddess Kali. The difference is that in the stories of their earlier 5 incarnations, two each were born in the cities-Shravasti, Hastinapur, 5 Kampilyapur, and Saket. The names of the parents of all these were Vijaya l 5 and Padma. They all were initiated by Arhat Parshva.
