Dear Herman,
In my opinion "ripened" (one of the options of DOP) works well in this
context. With the causative paripāceti that would mean "someone rippens
the kamma" i.e. it causes it to yield its fruit (phala), its result. The
metaphor is that of the seed or the sprout and the fully rippened fruit,
I think. But I would be interested in knowing more about what does not
convince you about this interpretation.
Best wishes,
Aleix

Dear List members,
I would like to know what the exact (_in concreto_) meaning of the
expressions _paripakkaṃ kammaṃ is -_ and in its wake that of _kammaṃ
paripāceti -,_ or what does "the _kamma_ has come/has been made to come
to fruition" mean. Has _kamma_ been annihilated and its effect
neutralised, or does it mean the opposite, that the _kamma_ "has come
to a head", is working at full force? Maybe it is a matter of my
understanding of English. In any case I cannot make it out from the
translations given in _A Dictionary of Pāli_, III, pp.289-290.
With kind regards, Herman
