Udakūpamasutta untranslated

Udakūpamasutta. There are seven kinds of people in the world who are like objects that fall into wells: Some having sunk into the water remain there; others continue sinking and rising; some having risen once will not sink again; others having risen will look round, etc. Similarly, some having fallen into sin never escape therefrom, others are prone to weakness but often check themselves, etc. AN.iv.11-13.
