PADHA pronounced without the H phonetically sounds like the Greek word PANTA which means everything or always. This brings in mind the Ancient Greek phrase Panta Rhei, as a whole phrase it is “τὰ πάντα ῥεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν μένει” (ta panta rhei kai ouden menei), which means “everything flows, and nothing stays.”
