**A Vyūha of Chariots.** It may be noted that a Vyūha of chariots or a regiment of charioteers which may be taken to be the unit of this branch of the army is stated by Kauṭilya [X. 5] to comprise 45 chariots, each of which was drawn by five horses. Thus besides the chariots, this section of the army is calculated to consist of 225 horses, 675 warriors, and another 675 servants (*pādagopa*).
