CHANDURA (CHANURA)

CHANDURA (CHANURA) Kansa, Kesi and Chandur were not equalled by anyone. They did not comprehend the Lord, therefore they were dishonoured. (Gauri M. l, p. 225) The Beloved Lord creates a child-like Krishna and through him kills Chandura, Kansa and Kesi. (Sorath M. 4, p. 606) He was a wrestler in the service of Kansa. He was killed by Krishna after a very severe contest. He was whirled round a hundred times and then dashed on the ground. His body was smashed into a hundred fragments.
