(1-5, 7-8) are physical; (9) is either physical or Mental. All the rest are Mental.
(14) (s. upekkhā) is here merely indifferent Feeling (= adukkha-m-asukhā vedanā, i.e. 'neither pleasant nor unpleasant Feeling') and not identical with that highly ethical state of Equanimity (= tatramajjhattatā, i.e. 'keeping everywhere the middle', the equipoise of Mind), also called upekkhā which belongs to the Group of Mental Formations (Sankhāra-Kkhandha; s. Tab II).
(20) arises at the moment of entering the Sotāpatti-Path (sotāpatti-Magga), (21) on reaching the Sotāpatti-Fruition (sotāpatti-phala), (22) at attaining the Arahat-Fruition (arahatta-phala). For the three last, s. Ariya-puggala.
The faculties, excepting (7) and (8), Form one of the 24 conditions (Paccaya 16).
In Vibh. V all these faculties are treated in the above order, whereas S.XLVIII enumerates and explains them by way of the above indicated groups, leaving only 20-22 unexplained. See Vis XVI; Path 138ff.
For the 5 spiritual faculties (15-19), s. The Way of Wisdom (Wheel 65/66).
