Thereafter, Paraśurāma cut off like a mountain peak the head of Kārtavīryārjuna, who had already lost his arms.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

Paraśurāma cut off the head of armless Kārtavīryārjuna, which was like a mountain peak. When Kārtavīryārjuna's ten thousand sons saw their father killed, they all fled in fear. Then Paraśurāma released the kāmadhenu, which had undergone great suffering, brought it back with its calf to his residence, and gave it to his father, Jamadagni.
