I have created a suitable disambiguation page, and this page should reflect about Padma, a term finding innumerable reference in
Hinduism,
Jainism, and
Buddhist texts. Accordingly, I am placing appropriate contents by way of a stub to present reality associated with this term as
Padma River already has an appropriate page with a suitable page name. --

A disambig page sounds just fine. Padma is perhaps the most notable river in Bangladesh ... so I had this redirect to
Padma River. I'm not familiar with the religious significance, but anyone familiar with it is free to add that here. By the way, Padma, when it comes to referring the river, is pronounced: pad-maaa. Another term, pronounced Pad-mow, means lotus, an entirely different word. I guess the references you mention belong to the 2nd term. Unfortunately, the standard english spelling is the same for both the river and lotus, so a disambig page should clear this up. Thanks. --

Yes, I mean the 2nd term. "Padma is perhaps the most notable river in Bangladesh" - in fact, it is the most notable. The river is important for
Indians also, as it is associated with
Ganges River. Use of the term Ganga-Padma in
Bengal is very common. In view of this, I had not immediately disturbed the redirection, as the redirection was looking fine. I will create a Padma{disambiguation) page, and as regards the 2nd term I shall name the page as Padma (mythology). --
