  In the post Two Versions of 37 Factors of Enlightenment the word bala is used as “wealth”. In the post panca indriya/panca bala it is used as “power” or “force”.
  
  Are both translations correct?

  Sutta Central translates bala as: strength; power; force; an army; military force

  Thanks, Tobias.
  
  I have revised both posts to make it clear.
  
  “Two Versions of 37 Factors of Enlightenment”
  
  “Pañca Indriya and Pañca Bala – Five Faculties and Five Powers”
  
  Please read through and see whether both are self-consistent now.
