May my such sins be dissolved

Fourth anuvrat is to refrain from gross sensuality (passion).
Contentment should be with one’s own wife, sensual pleasure are forbidden with anybody other than her. (and a lady should be contented with her husband alone, sensual pleasures are forbidden with anybody else)
And such men women who have refrained from sensual pleasures shall avoid sensuality related to divine form, human form and bestial form.
As long as I live, by two acts i.e. I will not do such work, I will not get it done and by three means like mind, speech and body, I shall not have passion with divine personalities. And with human beings and animals I shall not bear such passion physically.
Of such vow, to refrain from sensuality there are five blemishes worth knowing, but not worth doing and I say them the way they are :
Have marital relationship with wife of immature age
Have pre-marital relations
Have perverse relations
Take unconcerned interest in getting others married
Be obsessive towards sensualism
If any of such, blemish has incurred may my sins be dissolved.
