You are confusing the padma purana of hinduism literature with the padma purana written by Ravisena in Jainism. There is also a padma purana written by Chandrakriti of Buddhism tradition.
The jainism text gives an alternate ramayana, which is similar to the ramayana of the jainism tradition written by Vimalasuri.
