Verse 19.12

दशकोटिसहस्राणि रक्षसां कामरूपिणाम्। मांसशोणितभक्ष्याणां लङ्कापुरनिवासिनाम्॥ स तैस्तु सहितो राजा लोकपालानयोधयत्। सह देवैस्तु ते भग्ना रावणेन दुरात्मना॥

daśakoṭisahasrāṇi rakṣasāṃ kāmarūpiṇām| māṃsaśoṇitabhakṣyāṇāṃ laṅkāpuranivāsinām|| sa taistu sahito rājā lokapālānayodhayat| saha devaistu te bhagnā rāvaṇena durātmanā||

English Meaning

His army consists of ten thousand kotis of Rākşasas, wearing shapes at will, inhabiting the city of Lankā, and living on flesh and gore. And with the Lokpalas and the celestials, they were all defeated by the vicious-souled Ravana.
