[INDOLOGY] question about Pāli paripakka and paripāceti

[Aleix Ruiz-Falqués]

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
