Today's Subhash.

अधर्मेणैथते  पूर्वं  ततो भद्राणि पश्यति  |
ततः सपत्रान् जयति समूलस्तु विनिष्यति | -संस्कृत सुभाषितानि

भावार्थ -    यदि कोई व्यक्ति धर्म के अनुसार आचरण नहीं  करता
है तो प्रारम्भ में तो एक पेड के समान खूब् फलता फूलता है और
और विजयी हो कर धन संपत्ति भी अर्जित कर लेता है , परन्तु
बाद में जिस प्रकार एक पेड जड सहित सूख जाता है वैसे  ही गलत
साधनों से अर्जित संपत्ति भी प्रारम्भिक पूंजी (मूल धन) सहित
नष्ट  हो जाती  है |
('समूलस्तु'  शब्द का एक अर्थ यह्  भी हो सकता है कि जो मूलधन
(प्रारम्भिक पूंजी ) उस व्यक्ति के  पास रही होगी वह् भी अनुचित
साधनों से कमाई गयी संपत्ति के साथ नष्ट हो जाती है, यानी कि
सर्वनाश हो जाता है |  समाज में ऐसे अनेक उदाहरण मिलते है कि
अनुचित साधनों से लोग  रातों रात  अमीर बन जाते हैं , लेकिन
उसी तरह शीघ्र पुनः गरीब्  भी हो  जाते हैं | यह सुभाषित इसी तथ्य
को प्रतिपादित करता है )

Adharmenaithate  poorvam tato bhadraani pashyati
Tatah sapatraan jayati  samoolastu vinashyati.

Adharmenaithate = adharmena + ethate.       Adharmena =
by leading an immoral lifestyle.    Ethate = becomes dry
wood.   Poorvam =  before, initially.   Tato = afterwards.
Bhadraani = prosperity.    Pashyati = sees,  enjoys.   Tatah =
due to that.    Sapatraan = along with leaves.    Jayati = be
victorious or successful.    Samoolastu = samoolah + tu.
Samoolah =  along with the roots, original capital . Tu = but,  .
Vinashyati = annihilated, gets destroyed.

i.e.    By adopting unethical and unfair means,  initially a
person quickly becomes prosperous and happy just like a
growing  tree full of leaves and fruits.  But later on, just as
a tree dries up and gets destroyed along with its roots,in the
same manner not only the ill -gotten wealth  gets destroyed
even the original capital of that person also gets destroyed.

(There are numerous examples of people becoming very rich
and victorious by adopting unfair means. But their downfall is
also very quick and they lose even their original capital . This
fact has been highlighted beautifully in this Subhashita.
