== अधर्मफलम् || Fruit of Adharma ==
Manusmriti (Adhyaya 4) elaborates on the fruits of Adharma and the fate of those following the path of Adharma while discussing the importance of righteousness and truthfulness (सत्यवादित्वम्) as a quality to be upheld by a Snataka (स्नातक: । graduate). It says,
* Adharma (unrighteousness), practised in this world, does not, like the Earth (or the Cow) bring its fruit immediately; but, accumulating gradually, it cuts off the roots of the perpetrator. (Manu. Smrt. 4.172).<ref name=":32">Ganganath Jha (1920-39), Manusmrti ([https://ia801603.us.archive.org/33/items/in.ernet.dli.2015.46010/2015.46010.Manusmrti--Vol-4.pdf Vol.4]), Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass Publishers Private Limited.</ref>

* One who is unrighteous, whose wealth is begotten unrighteously, and one who is always addicted to injuring, never obtains happiness in this world. (Manu. Smrt. 4.170).<ref name=":32" />

* Even if a person on the path of adharma, prospers at first, through wealth, experiences happiness and conquers his enemies, at last, he is destroyed from the roots. (Manu. Smrt. 4.174).<ref name=":32" />

* And if the fruit of adharma doesn't fall on the doer himself, it falls on his sons, if not on the sons then surely on his grandsons; but one does not get free without having to experience the fruit of one's actions. (Manu. Smrt. 4.173).<ref name=":32" />
