पत्त्य् अश्व रथ द्विपानां सार त्रि भागम् उरस्यं स्थापयेत्, द्वौ त्रि भागौ कक्षं पक्षं च उभयतः, अनुलोमम् अनुसारम्, प्रतिलोमं तृतीय सारम्, फल्गु प्रतिलोमम् ॥

One-third of the best of infantry, cavalry and elephants should be kept in front; two-thirds on both the flanks and wings; the array of the army according to the strength of its constituents is in the direct order; that which is arrayed mixing one-third of strong and weak troops is in the reverse order.
