پاک is the established Urdu Christian Bible term (also familiar from Pakistan’s own name, ‘land of the pure’), meaning set apart for God and morally pure. طاہر leans toward ritual purity in the sense of Islamic wudu/ghusl ablution law (tahara), a legal-ritual purity category distinct from the moral/relational holiness in view here.
