1) Avipāka (अविपाक) refers to “(the dharmas) without retribution”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 7.—Accordingly: “[Question]:—What are all these dharmas cognized by omniscience? [Answer]:—[...] [Groups of three dharmas]—‘All dharmas’ is also the good, the bad and indeterminate dharmas; the dharmas to be destroyed by seeing the truths, to be destroyed by meditation and not to be destroyed; the dharmas with retribution, without retribution (avipāka), neither with nor without retribution. Innumerable similar groups of three dharmas comprise all the dharmas.

Mahayana (महायान, mahāyāna) is a major branch of Buddhism focusing on the path of a Bodhisattva (spiritual aspirants/ enlightened beings). Extant literature is vast and primarely composed in the Sanskrit language. There are many sūtras of which some of the earliest are the various Prajñāpāramitā sūtras.
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Avipāka (अविपाक) or Avipākanirjarā refers to “wearing away (of karma) that which has not fructified”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—[According to the explanation in Hindi of verse 2.141]—[...] Intentional wearing (sakāma-nirjarā) away karma is also called wearing away that which has not fructified (avipāka-nirjarā) and wearing away produced by action (karmajānirjarā). Unintentional wearing away karma is also called wearing away that which has fructified (savipāka-nirjarā) and wearing away produced by inaction (akarmajā-nirjarā)”.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
