Padmavati mata navkar pad
Answer
In Jain Dharma, the Navkar Mantra is not specifically for Padmavati Mata. It is a universal mantra offered to the five supreme beings in Jainism.Navkar Mantra:
णमो अरिहंताणं
णमो सिद्धाणं
णमो आयरियाणं
णमो उवज्झायाणं
णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं
एसो पंच नमोक्कारो, सव्व-पाव-प्पणासणो
मंगलाणं च सव्वेसिं, पढमं हवइ मंगलं
