介绍（中）	这位坐在宝座上的女神以瑜伽冥想的姿势坐在莲花宝座上，由一个精心制作的建筑背板框住，背板上有细长的圆柱，支撑着带有圆顶元素的神殿。该神殿包含两个雌性飞须（cauri）承载器，每个承载器都支撑在一个叶片电枢上，该电枢支撑着一个莲芽基座，上方是冥想的Parsvanatha。帕德玛瓦蒂（Padmavati）的双手分别拿着一个大象果阿（ankusa）和一个金刚（vajra），肯定她深奥的联想，而她的双手则分别拿着莲芽和手势varadamudra。她与第23任基娜·帕斯瓦纳塔（Jina Parsvanatha）有联系，后者被描绘成一个主持女神的小形象她的交通工具和识别标志是公鸡，出现在她的莲花垫宝座下面的基座上。根据Niranakalika的说法，公鸡是她的交通工具（vahana），她被规定有四只手臂，尽管表现出一些不同的属性。另一个仪式来源，Mallisena的Bhairavapadma引用了一组不同的属性，但两者都包括山羊。帕德玛瓦蒂似乎与吉祥和财富联系在一起，正如基座上描绘的一排八个（吉祥数字）"宝罐"所见证的那样，从而暗示了与印度教女神拉克希米在图像和宗教上的相似之处。
介绍（英）	The enthroned goddess is seated in a yogic meditation posture on a lotus throne, and framed by an elaborate architectural back-plate with slender round pillars supporting the shrine setting with its amalaka (cupola-like) crowning element. The shrine incorporates two female fly whisk (cauri) bearers, each supported on a foliate armature supporting a lotus bud pedestal and above, the meditating Parsvanatha. Padmavati holds an elephant goad (ankusa) and a vajra in her upper hands affirming her esoteric associations, whilst her lower hands hold a lotus bud and gesture varadamudra respectively. She is linked to the 23rd Jina Parsvanatha, who is represented as a small image presiding over the goddess. Her vehicle and cognizant sign is the cock, seen on the pedestal below her lotus cushion throne. According to the Niranakalika, the rooster serves as her vehicle (vahana) and she is prescribed as having four arms though displaying somewhat different attributes. Another ritual source, Mallisena’s Bhairavapadma cites a variant set of attributes, but both include the goad. Padmavati would appear to be associated with auspiciousness and wealth, as witnessed by the row of eight (auspicious number) ‘treasure pots’ depicted on the pedestal, thus suggesting iconographic and devotional parallels with the Hindu goddess Lakshmi.
