23.93

「愚作罪小亦墮惡(無慚愧故),智為罪大亦脫苦(慚愧增故),如團鐵小亦沈水,為鉢鐵大亦能浮(引此頌意,明愚人名退墮,預流名無退墮也)。」

"A fool doing small evil still falls into bad destinies (due to lack of shame and remorse), / a wise one doing great evil is still freed from suffering (due to abundance of shame and remorse). / Just as a small ball of iron sinks in water, / yet when made into a bowl, great iron can float." / (The intent of citing this verse is to show that a foolish person is termed 'regressing and falling', while a stream-enterer is termed 'free from regression and falling'.)
