Full sarga summary
Downstream, Kartavirya Arjuna dams the Narmada with his thousand arms, and the swollen flood sweeps away Ravana's offerings -- learning the cause, Ravana attacks; the armies clash, Prahasta is struck down, and Ravana and Arjuna duel with maces until Arjuna seizes the bewildered Ravana with his thousand arms and binds him as Vishnu bound Bali -- he bears Ravana captive into Mahishmati amid rejoicing.

M. N. Dutt (1891–94), via Valmiki Ramayan DatasetThen, Ravana's army repeatedly hurled maces and spears at Arjuna, shouting "release, release" and "stop, stop."
Hindi
Gita Press, Gorakhpur (Hindi, via ramcharit.in)‘छोड़ो, छोड़ो’ और ‘ठहरो, ठहरो’ कहते हुए उन्होंने अर्जुनपर मूसल और शूल बरसाये। पर घबराये बिना शत्रुसूदन अर्जुनने उन शस्त्रोंको पहुँचनेसे पहले ही हवामें पकड़ लिया। फिर उन्हीं दुर्धर श्रेष्ठ अस्त्रोंसे राक्षसोंको बींधकर उसने उन्हें वैसे ही भगा दिया, जैसे वायु बादलोंको उड़ा देती है। राक्षसोंको इस प्रकार भयभीत करके कार्तवीर्य अर्जुन रावणको लेकर मित्रोंसहित अपने नगरमें प्रविष्ट हुआ। ब्राह्मण और नगरवासी उसपर फूल तथा अक्षत बरसा रहे थे; इन्द्रके समान तेजस्वी अर्जुनने उस नगरीमें उसी प्रकार प्रवेश किया, जैसे बलिको बाँधकर सहस्रलोचन इन्द्रने किया था
