महाभारत - वन - अधर्म

वर्धत्यधर्मेण नरस्ततो भद्राणि पश्यति ।
ततः सपत्नान् जयति समूलस्तु विनश्यति ॥

- महाभारत, वन

vardhati adharmeNa naraH tato bhadrANi pashyati ।
tataH saptnAn jayati samUlAstu vinashyati ॥

- mahAbhArata

By leaving the path of morality, one can prosper, find himself safe and secured, triumph over all his enemies. But one day, he shall be destroyed completely - from root to tip.
