Mahabharata

Rāvaṇavadha (“the killing of Rāvaṇa”). § 542: Rāvaṇa with the Rākshasas rushed towards Rāma and the monkeys ()
Rāvaṇa from his body created thousands of Rākshasas, whom Rāma slew with a celestial weapon. Then Rāvaṇa produced Rākshasas, resembling Rāma and Lakshmaṇa, whom Rāma slew. Mātali came with the chariot of Indra, Rāma thought it to be an illusion, but was reassured by Vibhīshaṇa, and riding in that chariot he killed Rāvaṇa with an arrow which he had consecrated with mantras as a Brahmāstra. The gods, the Gandharvas, Indra, the Dānavas, the Kinnaras, and the Cāraṇas rejoiced (III, 290).
