One life time is not enough to know Krishna,the sampurnavatar Of Vishnu..

Krishna’s first spoken line in Mahabharat..that was recorded by Vyasa was at the Sswayamvara of Draupadi..and it is about Arjun.

Damodara (Krishna) of superhuman intelligence and inconceivable feats, addressing his brother, Halayudha (Valadeva) of fierce energy, said, 'That hero there, of tread like that of a mighty lion, who draweth the large bow in his hand four full cubits in length, is Arjuna! CLXLI.adi parv
As per South version though Krishna could shoot the target,he did not since he wanted Arjuna to do it.
Mahabharata did not mention Radha anywhere. Krishna’s prominent wives were mentioned in different contexts.
Satyabhama accompanied Krishna most of the times when he went out of Dwarika to visit Pandavas. She was with him during Khandav Dahan. She went to forest also when Krishna visited Pandavas. She was there in Upaplavya forAbhimanyu’s marriage.
Balarama’s own sister and Krishna’s half sister ,Subhadra was closer to Krishna,Rukmini,Satya as per South version. When she fell in love with Arjuna it was Devaki who assured her of her marriage with Arjuna not her own mother Rohini.
Krishna loved and regarded Rukmini , his first wife . Contrary to all the talk spread around,he was happy with Rukmini and proudly described her effort in getting Pradyumna by practising severe austerities along with him. Mahabharata Sabha Parva particularly mentioned how Krishna met Rukmini and spent quality time with her after his return from Indraprasth.
When Arjuna accompanied the horse during Aswamedha sacrifice,Krishna stayed at Hastinapur. He was the one who got information first that Arjuna was returning with the horse after his conquest.
Krishna’s Eldest son Pradyumna,a desciple Of Arjuna was a great warrior..he defeated Karna..Pradyumna knows the method to enter Chakravyuha and return .
Krishna assured Draupadi that her offenders would get punished..but as an envoy of Pandavas he tried his best to avoid war..Duryodhan and Karna did not relent.
After the war,Krishna took Subhadra to Dwarika for a while..he narrated the war events before his father Vâsudeva. He then returned to Hastinapur with Subhadra on the eve of Aswamedha sacrifice.
Krishna spent most of his time with Arjuna rather than with his wives or anyone else. Even Duryodhana understood how close both are to each other and told his father…..”Vasudeva of the Vrishni race, in order to enhance the dignity of Arjuna, gave fourteen thousands of excellent elephants. Indeed, Krishna is the soul Of Arjuna and Arjuna is the soul of Krishna.and whatever Arjuna may say Krishna is certain to accomplish. And Krishna is capable of abandoning heaven itself for the sake of Arjuna. and Arjuna also is capable of sacrificing his life for the sake of Krishna.”
After the war when Krishna was on his way to Dwarika ,Uttanka requested Krishna to show his universal form and he was fortunate enough to see that form witnessed by Arjuna.
When Babhruvahana arrived to witness Aswamedha,he humbly approached Krishna to pay respects. Krishna gave him a very costly and excellent car adorned with gold and to which were yoked excellent horses..
Before the destruction of Yadavas ,36 years after Kurukshetra war,Sudarshan chakra flew up to heaven. Krishna’s great chariot with horses named Saibya,Sugriva ,meghapushpa And Valahaka fled away into the surface of the ocean while Daruka looked on.
Krishna loved Abhimanyu dearly..false stories are spread nowadays regarding the origin of Abhi,making him a demon in previous birth. Mahabharat said he was Varchas,Chandra’s son born as Abhimanyu.
Both Vasudeva and Dhananjaya, afflicted with sorrow and grief and frequently sighing like two snakes, got no sleep that night. Understanding that both Nara and Narayana were in rage, the gods with Vasava became very anxious thinking, 'What will come of it?' Fierce winds, that were again dry and foreboded danger, began to blow..This was how Krishna spent that night..with anger over Abhi’s death. He did not rejoice like he did at the time of Ghatotkacha’s death…
Krishna’s last words to Vâsudeva was about Arjun only..Incidentally they were the last recorded words of the Epic uttered by Krishna..”Know, O father, that I am Arjuna and Arjuna is myself. So first and last both are about Arjuna.
After Arjuna installed Vajra as the king of Indraprasth,Rukmini, the princess of Gandhara, Saivya, Haimavati, and queen Jamvabati ascended the funeral pyre. Satyabhama and other dear wives of Krishna entered the forests to practice penances.
The first recorded conversation of Draupadi with Krishna in the Epic happened to be in Vana Parva when Draupadi complained to Krishna of her humiliation in Dice hall.
After getting shot by the hunter,Krishna ascended to heaven in full glory, filling the entire space with splendour. When he reached Heaven, Indra and the twin Ashvinis and Rudra and the Adityas and the Vasus and the Viswedevas, and Munis and Siddhas and many Gandharvas, with the Apsaras, advanced to receive him.
Then, the illustrious Narayana reached his own region,Vaikuntha.Krishna then met the deities and (celestial) Rishis and Charanas, the Gandharvas and many beautiful Apsaras and Siddhas and Saddhyas.
