Translation
With this rule in mind, I removed You from the battlefield, since You had been struck unconscious by Your enemy’s club and I thought You were seriously injured.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
With this rule in mind, I removed You from the battlefield, since You had been struck unconscious by Your enemy's club and I thought You were seriously injured.
KB 10.76.33
The enemy all of a sudden struck you with his club so severely that you lost consciousness. You were in a dangerous position, surrounded by your enemies. Therefore I was obliged to act as I did.”
Thus ends the Bhaktivedanta purport of the Seventy-sixth Chapter of Kṛṣṇa, “The Battle Between Śālva and Members of the Yadu Dynasty.”
Purport
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Seventy-sixth Chapter, of the
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam,
entitled “The Battle Between Śālva and the Vṛṣṇis.”
Purport (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
"You were taken away by me. Afflicted by the beating of his club, you then fainted. Knowing that, I took you away. Unfortunately you fainted, so you did not recognize me."
Purport (Jiva Goswami)
I knew that you were afflicted by the enemy, injured by the club and had fainted. Apovāhitaḥ instead of apavāhitaḥ is poetic license.
Purport (Sanatana Goswami)
He denies his fault, emphasizing it again. Knowing this for certain (tu), I removed you from the field. You will in great difficulty, struck by his club. Or though struck by his club, you increased in strength (mūrcchitaḥ). That is the quality of the warrior. You were moreover touched by the Lord (pareṇa). Thinking you were reborn, I removed you from the field for a rest.
Thus end the purports of the humble servants of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupāda to the Tenth Canto, Seventy-sixth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled "The Battle Between Śālva and the Vṛṣṇis."

Chapter Summary
This chapter describes how Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa disposed of Śālva, the master of deception, and destroyed his airship Saubha.
Having been removed from the battlefield, Pradyumna was extremely ashamed, and He ordered His driver to take His chariot once again into the presence of Dyumān. As Pradyumna fought with Dyumān, other Yadu heroes like Gada, Sātyaki, and Sāmba began to create havoc among Śālva's army. The battle continued in this way for twenty-seven days and nights.
When Lord Kṛṣṇa returned to Dvārakā, He found it under siege. At once He ordered Dāruka to drive Him onto the battlefield. Suddenly Śālva noticed the Lord and threw his spear at Kṛṣṇa's charioteer, but the Lord shattered the weapon into hundreds of pieces and pierced Śālva and his Saubha vehicle with numerous arrows. Śālva responded by shooting an arrow that struck Kṛṣṇa's left arm. Amazingly, the Lord dropped the Śārṅga bow He was holding in His left hand. The demigods watching the battle cried out in alarm upon seeing the bow fall, while Śālva took the opportunity to insult Kṛṣṇa.
Lord Kṛṣṇa then struck Śālva with His club, but the demon, vomiting blood, disappeared. A moment later a man came before Lord Kṛṣṇa and, after offering Him obeisances, introduced himself as a messenger from mother Devakī. The man informed the Lord that His father, Vasudeva, had been kidnapped by Śālva. Upon hearing this, Lord Kṛṣṇa seemed to lament like an ordinary man. Śālva then led forward someone who looked just like Vasudeva, decapitated him and took the head with him into his Saubha airship. Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, however, could understand the magic tricks of Śālva. Thus He pierced Śālva with a shower of arrows and struck the Saubha vehicle with His club, demolishing it. Śālva descended from his airplane and rushed toward Lord Kṛṣṇa to attack Him, but the Lord took up His Sudarśana disc and severed Śālva's head from his body.
With the killing of Śālva, the demigods in the sky played kettledrums in jubilation. The demon Dantavakra then took a vow to avenge his friend Śālva's death.
