16.37

"When done by oneself, and sexual misconduct, have both" has two aspects: first, when done by oneself they have both; second, sexual misconduct has both. "When done by oneself they have both" means that when these six bad actions are done by oneself, they have both vijñapti and avijñapti. At the very moment vijñapti arises, the other person immediately dies, and so forth. The Śāstra states: "If they die later, it is the same as dispatching an emissary. For when the root [action] is accomplished, there is only avijñapti. (The explanation is: when one takes a sword to kill an enemy, at the very moment the sword descends, it is bodily vijñapti-karma. When the vijñapti arises, the enemy's life has not yet ended. After the vijñapti has arisen, the enemy's life only then ends; this is called 'dying later and so forth'. There is only avijñapti, because the vijñapti is already gone)." "Sexual misconduct has both" means that sexual misconduct necessarily has both vijñapti and avijñapti; for one must engage in it oneself to experience pleasure, and dispatching another cannot produce delight as doing it oneself does.
