In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: Pali Kanon: Pali Proper Names1. Paduma
The eighth of the twenty four Buddhas. He was born in Campaka. His father was the Khattiya Asama (but see J.i.36, where he is called Paduma ) and his mother Asama. For ten thousand years he lived as a householder in three palaces: Nanda, Suyasa and Uttara (BuA. calls them Uttara, Vasuttara and Yasuttara). His wife was Uttara and his son Ramma. He left home in a chariot and practiced austerities for eight months. Dhannavati gave him milk rice, and an Ajivaka, named Titthaka, spread grass for his seat under his bodhi tree, which was a Mahasona. He preached his first sermon in Dhananjuyyana. His chief disciples were his younger brothers Sala and Upasala and his attendant was Varuna. Radha and Suradha were his chief women disciples, and his chief patrons were Bhiyya and Asama among men and Ruci and Nandarama among women.
His body was fifty eight cubits high, and he lived for one hundred thousand years. He died in Dhammarama and his relics were scattered. The Buddhavamsa Commentary states that his full name was Mahapaduma, that he was so called because on the day of his birth a shower of lotuses fell over Jambudipa, and that, at that time, the Bodhisatta was a lion.

Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Tibetan BuddhismPadumā (पदुमा) refers to one of the female Śrāvakas mentioned as attending the teachings in the 6th century Mañjuśrīmūlakalpa: one of the largest Kriyā Tantras devoted to Mañjuśrī (the Bodhisattva of wisdom) representing an encyclopedia of knowledge primarily concerned with ritualistic elements in Buddhism. The teachings in this text originate from Mañjuśrī and were taught to and by Buddha Śākyamuni in the presence of a large audience (including Padumā).
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha’s words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (vajrayāna) are collected indepently.
