“One chariot, one elephant, five infantry soldiers and three horses are called a patti by those who are learned in the science. The wise also know that a senāmukha is three times what a patti is. Three senāmukhas are known as one gulma, three gulmas are called a gaṇa, and three gaṇas are called a vāhinī. Three vāhinīs have been referred to by the learned as a pṛtanā, three pṛtanās equal one camū, and three camūs equal one anīkinī. The wise refer to ten anīkinīs as one akṣauhiṇī. The chariots of an akṣauhiṇī have been calculated at 21,870 by those who know the science of such calculations, O best of the twice-born, and the number of elephants is the same. The number of infantry soldiers is 109,350, and the number of horses is 65,610. This is called an akṣauhiṇī.”

«Los expertos en la ciencia denominan patti al conjunto de una cuadriga, un elefante, cinco soldados de infantería y tres caballos. Esos sabios dicen también que el conjunto de tres pattis forman un senāmukha. Tres senāmukhas forman un gulma, tres gulmas un gaṇa, y tres gaṇas un vāhinī. Los eruditos llaman pṛtanā al conjunto de tres vāhinīs; tres pṛtanās forman un camū; y tres camūs, un anīkinī. Los sabios dicen que diez anīkinīs son un akṣauhiṇī. ¡Oh, el mejor de los nacidos por segunda vez! los que conocen esta ciencia han calculado que en un akṣauhiṇī hay 21 870 cuadrigas, e igual número de elefantes. Los soldados de infantería son 109 350, y el número de caballos es de 65 610. Esos son los componentes de un akṣauhiṇī».
