== जनपदोध्वंसस्य मूलम् ॥ Fundamental cause of Janapadodhwansa ==

Although various causes of Janapadodhwansa have been listed by Acharyas, the root cause or fundamental cause for all these factors is believed to be Adharma or unrighteous acts done in this life, Sins of the present life or the misdeeds of the past life. And the origin of all these acts is traced up to [[Prajnaparadha (प्रज्ञापराधः)|prajnaparadha]] (Intellectual errors). Acharya Charaka has expounded how Adharma originating from prajnaparadha causes vitiation of environmental factors and leads to destruction of human settlements as below,

And the origin of all these acts is traced up to [[Prajnaparadha (प्रज्ञापराधः)|prajnaparadha]] (Intellectual errors). Acharya Charaka has expounded how Adharma originating from prajnaparadha causes vitiation of environmental factors and leads to destruction of human settlements as below,<blockquote>यदा वै देशनगरनिगमजनपदप्रधाना धर्ममुत्क्रम्याधर्मेण प्रजां वर्तयन्ति, तदाश्रितोपाश्रिताः रजनपदा व्यवहारोपजीविनश्च तमधर्ममभिवर्धयन्ति, ततः सोऽधर्मः प्रसभं धर्ममन्तर्धत्ते, तस्तेऽन्तर्हितधर्माणो देवताभिरपि त्यज्यन्ते; तेषां थाऽन्तर्हितधर्मणामधर्मप्रधानानामपक्रान्तदेवतानामृतवो व्यापद्यन्ते; तेन नापो यथाकालं देवो र्षति न वा वर्षति विकृतं वा वर्षति, वाता न सम्यगभिवान्ति, तिर्व्यापद्यते, लिलान्युपशुष्यन्ति, ओषधयः स्वभावं परिहायापद्यन्ते विकृतिं; तत उद्ध्वंसन्ते जनपदाः श्याभ्यवहार्यदोषात् ॥ (Char. Samh 3.23)</blockquote>Meaning: Thus when the reigning heads of countries, cities, trade guilds etc. govern the people irresponsibly by transgressing the virtuous path, then their officers, sub-ordinates and under- subordinates, people of the city and community and traders deviate from their duties as well and propagate such unrighteous acts further. Their sinful acts perforce causes the righteous acts to disappear. Because of the disappearance of righteous acts, even the Gods desert the people living in such places. This causes seasons to get impaired in these places. There is no rain in time, or never at all, or abnormal rain occurs; the air does not flow properly; the land is afflicted, the water reservoirs dry up, and herbs lose their true properties and suffer deterioration. As a consequence, the people perish as the result of infectious contact or ingestion of polluted food and water.<ref>Available from charakasamhitaonline.com (Vimanasthanam adhyaya 3 Sutram 20)</ref>
