Pali also uses evarūpa in prose as well as verse. ([Pali Text Society’s Pali-English Dictionary] cites this [compound] under eva; of course it should be under evaṃ.) Cf. keva-rūpa.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
