Etymology edit
Possibly directly as pa- + dātar, and possibly indirectly by compounding at the verbal level to give padadāti and padāti (“to bestow”) as pa- + dadāti. The prefix intensifies the amount of giving.

- පුන ච පරං භන්තෙ, ඉමෙ ඉසිදත්තපුරාණා ථපතයො මමභත්තා
මමයානා අහං නෙසං ජීවිතස්ස පදාතා යසස්ස ආහත්තා අථ ච පන
නො තථා මයි නිපච්චාකාරං කරොන්ති යථා භගවති.- Puna ca paraṃ bhante, ime isidattapurāṇā thapatayo mamabhattā
mamayānā ahaṃ nesaṃ jīvitassa padātā yasassa āhattā atha ca pana
no tathā mayi nipaccākāraṃ karonti yathā bhagavati. - Furthermore, sir, these chamberlains Isidatta and Purāṇa share my meals and my carriages. I give them a livelihood and bring them renown. And yet they don’t show me the same level of devotion that they show to the Buddha.
