Avipākī (Avipākajā) Nirjara (premature falling off of Karma) which occurs or which is undertaken without the intention of Moksa (liberation). When one does not refrain from sensual objects voluntarily, but abstains from Bhoga (use of consumable goods) and Upabhoga (use of non-cunsumable goods) involuntarily the shedding of Karma takes place; it is called Akāma Nirjarā.
