Dharanendra Yaksha and Padmavathi Yakshi have special place among Jain devoutees. They attained the status of devas as they were initiated to the Pancha Namaskar Maha Mantra by Bagawan Sri Parswanatha himself at the time of their death. Out of their deep devoution to Bagawan Parswanath, they rose from their sub-terranean world when Kamada created hindrances when Parswanatha was meditating as a monk. While Dharanendra covered Parswanatha with his multiple serpent hoods, Padmavathi provided cover by holding a diamond (vajra) umbrella. This pair of yaksha and yakshi are worshipped as they are believed to provide wealth and happiness to Jain devoutees. Padmavathi is also called Dharmavatsala.

While sculting along with Sri Parswanatha, he is depicted as a hooded serpent over Bagawan's head or as holding "chamara" fans over the Thirthankara image.
