4.173

yadi nātmani putreṣu na cet putreṣu naptṛṣu
na tv eva tu kartur bhavati niṣphalaḥ //

If (the punishment falls) not on (the offender) himself, (it falls) on his sons, if not on the sons, (at least) on his grandsons; but an iniquity (once) committed, never fails to produce fruit to him who wrought it.

Georg Bühler 1886, The Laws of Manu
