As part of his amusements, Kārtavīrya stopped the flow of the river by making a dam with his thousand arms. This caused the level of the water to rise and Rāvaṇa with his materials of worship was submerged in the flood. Enraged at this disturbance to his worship, he sent two of his men down the river bank to find out what was happening. They traced the source of the trouble to Kārtavīryārjuna and his water-sports and reported the matter to their master. At once Rāvaṇa armed himself with his bow rushed to Kārtavīryārjuna and began a fierce fight. At last Rāvaṇa fell down under the heavy stroke of Kārtavīrya's mace and was bound in chains and imprisoned. He lay there for one year. Rāvaṇa's father sage Pulastya came to know of this and he went to Kārtavīrya's palace. He was received with due respect and at his request, Kārtavīrya released Rāvaṇa and after that they remained friends for life.
