[INDOLOGY] question about Pāli paripakka and paripāceti

[Tieken, H.J.H. (Herman)]

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
