3, Dwelling upon the desire or intercourse or; gratifying the desire in any unnatural or any artificial way; these are partial transgressions; they are crimes against his own soul.
4. Giving away another person's daughter in marriage; or helping or causing another person to get married. This is transgressing because you are doing things which further the act or exercise of sex passion, which passion is the basis of marriage.
5. Intense desire for sexual intercourse. Put this is from a different point of view from the third illustration. Here it means constantly looking at woman with that lustful eye. It would also include continuing in the act after it is over. And it would include a person who tries all sorts of medicines to make him strong if his sex passion is feeble.
FIFTH VRATA. Sthula-parigraha-parimana vrata. Sthula means grose, parigraba means acquiring as one's own; that is possession, Parimana means limitation. Therefore the vow means a choise to put a limit to the things you possess or will possess and in an ordinary way.
