Today's Subhashita.

अधर्मादर्जितं  द्रव्यं अल्पकालं तु तिष्ठति |
ततः सपत्रमयते समूलं तेन नश्यति         ||

अर्थ -     अधर्म  (गलत साधनों और कार्यों ) द्वारा अर्जित धन संपत्ति बहुत थोडे समय तक ही
स्थायी रहती है | एक पौधे  के समान कुछ समय तक पल्लवित और पुष्पित होने के बाद वह् जड्  सहित नष्ट हो जाती है |

 ('समूलं  च विनश्यति' का तात्पर्य यह्  भी  हो सकता है कि अधर्म द्वारा  अर्जित  संपत्ति  तो नष्ट होती ही है , उसके साथ  मूलधन  (पूर्वार्जित धन ) भी नष्ट हो जाता  है | )

Adharmaadarjitam druvyam  alpakaalam tu thishthati.
Tatah sapatramayate samoolam tena nashyati.

Adharmaadarjitam = Adharmaat + arjitam.       Adharmaat = through unjust and immoral means.
Alpakaalam = for a short period.      Tishthati = remains, stays.      Tatah = , therefore. then ;
Sapatramayate = after blooming like the leaves of a tree.     Samoolam = along with the roots,entirely.   Tena =  for that reason (acquiring through wrongful means,      Nashyati =  gets destroyed.

i.e.     Wealth acquired through unjust and immoral means remains with a person for a short period of time, and after blooming and flowering like a plant for some time, gets destroyed along with its roots.

(There can be another interpretation of the word 'Samoolam;' i.e. along with the  original capital of any enterprise or a person. So , not  only the wealth acquired through wrongful means is lost , the original capital is also lost. )
