English Translation
येषु since, अधर्मः in the unrighteous, प्रतिष्ठितः is rooted, यस्मात् therefore, अर्थाःwealth, विवर्थन्ते develop, धर्मशीलाः च who follow dharma, क्लिश्यन्ते च suffer, तस्मात् therefore, एतौ both these, निरर्थकौ are meaningless
English Commentary
"Since those rooted in unrighteous develop and are wealthy, and those who follow dharma suffer both these are meaningless."
