SB 10.44.19
tais tair niyuddha-vidhibhir
vividhair acyutetarau
yuyudhate yathanyonyam
tathaiva bala-mustikau
Translation:
Lord Balarama and Mustika, expertly displaying numerous wrestling techniques, battled each other in the same way that Lord Krsna and His opponent did.
SB 10.44.20
bhagavad-gatra-nispatair
vajra-nispesa-nisthuraih
canuro bhajyamanango
muhur glanim avapa ha
Translation:
The harsh blows from the Supreme Lord’s limbs fell like crushing lightning bolts upon Canura, breaking every part of his body and causing him more and more pain and fatigue.
Purport:
Canura’s elbows, arms, knees and other limbs were all weakening.
SB 10.44.21
sa syena-vega utpatya
musti-krtya karav ubhau
bhagavantam vasudevam
kruddho vaksasy abadhata
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.
