Wife of a वैश्य named प्रणिधि . Once प्रणिधि went to a neighbouring village for trade. पद्मावती and her companions were one day bathing in a river nearby when a शूद्र passed that way. Attracted by her dazzling beauty he remained there talking to her. The शूद्र named धर्मध्वज was greatly enamoured of her and the companions of पद्मावती , noticing that, just to make fun of him said "If you abandon your life at the point where the rivers गङ्गा and यमुना meet you can attain पद्मावती ." Without any hesitation, thinking that what they said was true, he went and ended his life at the place suggested. Immediately he became a replica of प्रणिधि and stood before पद्मावती . The real प्रणिधि also came there then. पद्मावती was in a fix to choose the real husband. महाविष्णु appeared before them then and asked पाद्मावती to accept both of them as her husbands पद्मावती pleaded it was forbidden for women of her community to accept more than one husband and then महाविष्णु took all the three along with him to वैकुण्ठ .
