Original text · English · particle
evam evam, ind. (cf. 1. eva and etad), so, thus, in this way, in such a manner, such. Evam is not found in the oldest hymns of the Veda, where its place is taken by eva, but occurs in later hymns and in the Brāhmaṇas, especially in connection with the rt. vid, ‘to know,’ and its derivatives (e. g. ya evaṃ veda, he who knows so; cf. evaṃ-vid below). In classical Sanskrit evam occurs very frequently, espe- cially in connection with the roots vac, ‘to speak,’ and śru, ‘to hear,’ and refers to what precedes as well as to what follows (e. g. evam uktvā, having so said; evamevaitat, this is so; evam astu or evam bhavatu, be it so, I assent; asty evam, it is so; yady evam, if this be so; kim evam, how so? what is the meaning of it? what does this refer to? maivam, not so! evam — yathā or yathā — evam, so — as). Evam is often used like an adjective (e. g. evaṃ te vacane rataḥ, rejoicing in such words of thine; where evam = evaṃ-vidhe). Sometimes evam is merely an expletive. According to lexico- graphers evam may imply likeness (so); sameness of manner (thus); assent (yes, verily); affirmation (certainly, indeed, assuredly); command (thus, &c.); and be used as an expletive.
