    AKṢAUHIṆĪ . A big division of an army. It is described

    in the Verses 19 to 26 in the 2nd Chapter of Ādi Parva of

    the Malayalam Mahābhārata. It says thus: One chariot,

    one elephant, three horses and five soldiers constitute

    what is termed a Patti. Three such pattis make one Senā-

    mukha and three such senāmukhas make one Gulma.

    Three gulmas make one Gaṇa and three such gaṇas

    make one Vāhinī. Three such vāhinīs make one Pṛtanā.

    An Akṣauhiṇī contains 21870 chariots, an equal number

    of elephants, 65160 horses and 109350 soldiers.
