Chanura is a demon, who was killed by
Lord Krishna. Chanura was a great wrestler of
Mathura, who was ordered by Kamsa to kill Krishna and
Balarama. They had a very tough contest, in which Chanura was whirled round a hundred times, until his breath was expended in the air.
Krishna dashed him on the ground with such violence as to smash his body into a hundred fragments. In Vishnu Purana, the reference of Chanura can be found.
