Source: Sutta: The Pali Text Society's Pali-English DictionaryYevāpana, (ka) (adj.) (not connected with yeva, but an adj. formation from phrase ye vā pana; ye here standing (as Māgadhism) for yaṃ: cp. yebhuyya) corresponding, reciprocal, respective, in corresponding proportion, as far as concerned; lit. “whatever else. ” The expression is peculiar to exegetical (logical) literature on the Abhidhamma. See e.g. DhsA. 152 (yevāpanā, pl. and °kā); Vism. 468, 271 sq.; VbhA. 63, 70 sq.; cp. Dhs. trsl. 1 p. 5 and introd. p. 56.—Note. The expression occurring as phrase shows ye as Nom. pl. e.g. Dhs. 1, 58, 151—161 & passim: ye vā pana tasmiṃ samaye aññe pi dhammā; but cp. in § 1: yaṃ yaṃ vā pan’ārabbha, in same sense. (Page 558)
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
