Bhaktivedanta VedaBase: Srimad Bhagavatam 10.44.21

sa syena-vega utpatya

musti-krtya karav ubhau

bhagavantam vasudevam

kruddho vaksasy abadhata

SYNONYMS

sah -- he, Canura; syena -- of a hawk; vegah -- with the speed; utpatya -- falling upon Him; musti -- into fists; krtya -- making; karau -- his hands; ubhau -- both; bhagavantam -- the Supreme Lord; vasudevam -- Krsna; kruddhah -- angry; vaksasi -- upon His chest; abadhata -- struck.

TRANSLATION

Furious, Canura attacked Lord Vasudeva with the speed of a hawk and struck His chest with both fists.

PURPORT

It appears that Canura, realizing he was being defeated, became furious and made a final attempt to defeat Lord Krsna. The demon certainly had the spirit of a good fighter, but if he hoped for victory, he was certainly in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong person.
