Appamādō Amata Padam….

In #4 four factors are stated: āyusa (age), vaṇṇa (lively), sukha (comfort), bala (ability).
Does bala also contain the satara indriya (sati, saddha, panna, samadhi, viriya)?

Hello Tobias!

Those four factors help in one’s efforts to attain Nibbana. They are due to past puñña kamma. I just added a reference to that post.

The FIVE factors sati, saddha, panna, samadhi, viriya are called Pañca Indriya. They are discussed at, “Pañca Indriya and Pañca Bala – Five Faculties and Five Powers.”

Pañca Indriya needs to be cultivated.
– Of course, those four factors āyu (age), vaṇṇa (lively), sukha (comfort), bala (ability) help cultivate the Pañca Indriya.

The Pali word for age is āyu. I had used the Sinhala word āyusa. I made that revision too.
