[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 (savipāka), without retribution, neither with nor without retribution.

General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsSavipāka (सविपाक) or Savipākanirjarā refers to “wearing away (of karma) that which has 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.
