: sorry, but it means not "by both arms" but "grabbed the both arms of the owner" + Yes, in Russian we also use "обеими руками" as an idiom, but here, in the context, we have a literal meaning.

The deacon grabbed both arms/ hands of `the owner' (or master, host, etc.).
In this cases the arms/hands of the "owner" are meant.
If they were deacon's it would be: "сгреб хозяина обеими руками" (BY both arms/hands).
If they were deacon's it would be: "сгреб хозяина обеими руками" (BY both arms/hands).
