Sanskrit Kamala and Padma
Are kamala (कमल) and padma (पद्म) complete synonyms or is there a difference in meaning? -- Q Chris (talk) 10:10, 6 April 2017 (UTC)


 * I would not seem so or depend entirely on context. See here: Padma and Kamala 196.213.35.146 (talk) 12:34, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
 * They both mean  lotus for example. 196.213.35.146 (talk) 12:41, 6 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Or see here for the meanings of kamala: kamala. N.B.—Consider only the words without an uppercase A, and only the bolded words. Uppercase vowels indicate a different spelling: कामल, कमला.
 * And here for the meanings of padma: padma. There is a lot of difference between the two words. —Stephen (talk) 06:42, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
