Usage notes

• The variant بادِشاه (bādišāh) with b- was traditionally used in India. The eighteenth-century philogist Ārzū says that this is because پادشاه (pādišāh) sounded inappropriate in Hindi, probably a reference to Urdu پاد (pād) / Hindi पाद (pād, “fart, flatulence”).

Derived terms

• پادشاهی (pâdšâhi, pâdešâhi)
