Monier Monier-Williams, A Sanskrit–English Dictionary

अक्षौहिणीakṣauhiṇīf. an army consisting of ten ani1kini1s अनीकिनी s, or 21870 elephants, 21870 chariots, 65610 horse, and 109350…

feminine an army consisting of ten ani1kini1s अनीकिनी s, or 21870 elephants, 21870 chariots, 65610 horse, and 109350 foot. (Since an Ani1kini1 अनीकिनी consists of 27 va1hini1s वाहिनी s, and 27 is the cube of 3, अक्षौहिणी may be a compound of 2. अक्ष and वाहिनी; or it may possibly be connected with 1. अक्ष, axle, car.)
