1"Bhikkhus, there are these eight powers. What eight?

(1) The power of children is weeping; (2) the power of women is anger; (3) the power of thieves is a weapon; (4) the power of kings is sovereignty; (5) the power of fools is to complain; (6) the power of the wise is to deliberate; [n.1686] It seems that the two Pāli words ujjhatti and nijjhatti are being intentionally played off against one another. Mp glosses ujjhattibala with ujjhānabala and explains: "For fools have only the power of complaining: ‘When that fellow said this and that, he said it to me, not to anyone else.’ But (the wise) have the power of inference, of inferring what is beneficial and what is harmful: ‘This is not so, hence it is that.’" On nijjhatti and its verb, nijjhāpeti, see AN2.51. (7) the power of the learned is reflection; (8) the power of ascetics and brahmins is patience. These are the eight powers."

Ruṇṇabalā, bhikkhave, dārakā, kodhabalā mātugāmā, āvudhabalā corā, issariyabalā rājāno, ujjhattibalā bālā, nijjhattibalā paṇḍitā, paṭisaṅkhānabalā bahussutā, khantibalā samaṇabrāhmaṇā – imāni kho, bhikkhave, aṭṭha balānī"ti.
