Taraa describes Ravan's army as :
1 trillion, plus 36,000 units of warriors - each consists of 10,000 warriors (means 36,000 X 10,000 = 360,000,000) plus
Hundreds of thousands others
Means 1,000,360,000,000 warriors plus
Otherwise Hanuman describes Ravan's army as :
10,000 guards east gate with swords
100,000 soldiers, along with chaturangani army, at south gate
1 million soldiers trained in all kinds of weapons at west gate
1 billion Rakshas in chariots and horses at north gate
