I find this puzzling. I'm familiar from trying to memorize the lists that the two are basically identical with either -bala or -indriya on the end of each of the five terms, but what is the purpose of this "the power is the faculty and vice versa" presentation? I previously thought that the difference between the two lists was a matter of emphasis, but the point here looks more like equating established terms from different traditions. Any insights?
