Furious, Canura attacked Lord Vasudeva with the speed of a hawk and struck His chest with both fists.
It appears that Canura, realizing he was being defeated, became furious and made a final attempt to defeat Lord Krishna. 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.
