It is an army unit. One chariot, one elephant and five soldiers make a pathi. Three pathis make a senamukha. Three senamukhas make a gulma and 3 gulmas make a gana. Three ganas make a vahini and 3 vahinis make a Pritana. Three Pritanas make a Chamu and 3 chamus make an Aneekini. A hundred Aneekinis make an Akshouhini, as per Mahabharata Adiprava Chapter 2 verses 19-22.
