SB 10.44.22-23

nacalat tat-praharena
 malahata iva dvipah
bahvor nigrhya canuram
 bahuso bhramayan harih
 
bhu-prsthe pothayam asa
 tarasa ksina jivitam
visrastakalpa-kesa-srag
 indra-dhvaja ivapatat
 
Translation: 
 
No more shaken by the demon’s mighty blows than an elephant struck with a flower garland, Lord Krsna grabbed Canura by his arms, swung him around several times and hurled him onto the ground with great force. His clothes, hair and garland scattering, the wrestler fell down dead, like a huge festival column collapsing.
 
Purport: 
 
Srila Sridhara Svami explains the words indra-dhvaja as follows: “In Bengal, on the occasion of a certain festival, people erect a tall column in the form of a man and decorate it with flags, banners, etc. He [Canura] fell just as such a pole might fall.”
