"There are three different types of karma : prarabdha karma which is experienced through the present body and is only a part of 
sanchita karma which is the sum of one's past karmas, and agami karma which is the result of current decision and action."
no mention in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_in_Buddhism

"... classifies karma as consisting of three types: agami (forthcoming karma); sancita (accumulated karma); and prarabdha (fate)."

daijs: 現世でつくった善業・悪業のうち、その報いを現世で受けるもの。
hard to phrase right as I'm not sure what words you'd normally use to describe these things. "報い" for example which can both be 
positive and negative. do you say karma is "acquired" in English? "earned"? 

"karma which is earned and 'paid out' in the present life"
