BY ORDER OF RIPENINGThis section concerns the order of precedence among different kammas in taking on the role of generating rebirth-linking in the next existence. Being the major subject of this book, it will be explained in Chapter 4.3 BY TIME OF RIPENING3.1 Immediately effective (diññhadhammavedanãya) kamma;3.2 Subsequently effective (upapajjavedanãya) kamma;3.3 Indefinitely effective (aparàpariyavedanãya) kamma; The three types of kamma above have already been explained in the preceding chapter, pp. 27-28.3.4 Defunct (ahosi) kamma: This term does not designate a special class of kamma, but applies to kamma that, although due to ripen in either the present existence or the next existence, did not meet conditions conducive to its maturation. In the case of arahants and Buddhas, all their accumulated kamma from the past which was due to ripen in future lives becomes defunct with their final passing away.</blockquote>
