ٳ󲹲Բśī (धनश्री) refers to a previous incarnation of Sumati (daughter of Aparājita?), according to chapter 5.2 [śāntinātha-caritra] of Hemacandra’s 11th century Triṣaṣṭiśalākāpuruṣacaritra: an ancient Sanskrit epic poem narrating the history and legends of sixty-three illustrious persons in Jainism.

Accordingly, as a Goddess said to Sumati:—“[...] In Śrīnandanapura there was a king, named Mahendra, like Mahendra (Indra), always zealous day and night in protecting people seeking protection. The king’s chief-queen, dearer than life, was named Anantamati, the receptacle of infinite virtues. [...] At the right time two daughters were born; I, the elder, named Kanakaśrī, and you, named ٳ󲹲Բśī. The two grew up with mutual affection and attained youth with the collection of arts. Playing here and there as they liked, they went one day to Mt. Giriparvata, a place for recreation on holidays. [...]�.
