Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya nama:
Dear Sriman Sukumar,
I have heard that in SriKrShNAvathAra,the Lord used the 
four weapons namely shankha(conch),cakra(discus),gadha(maze) and 
nandhaki(sword) with the exception of sArnga(bow) which was used in 
SriRAmAvathAra. The Lord SriVenkatakrishnan(Presiding Deity) of Sri 
Parthasarathy Temple,Madras, sports nandhaki. If you want to 
experience the KrShNa of SriKrShNAvathAra/MahAbhAratha,you should 
definitely see ONLY this Lord! No other KrShNa in this world can 
match this KrShNa(that's my view!).

Vraja nadhi is the divider between nithya vibhUthi
(srivaikuNTa) and lIla vibhUthi(our materialworld including Brahma's 
world). Those who are caught in the flood of vraja(samsAra sAgaram) 
and those who have taken "sole" refuge at His lotus feet(Lord 
SrinivAsa with His left hand in that posture called kaTi hastha),the 
flood is only knee deep and hence can cross the river and reach the 
other side,the shore of mADhava(srivaikuNTa)! Otherwise we will be 
thrown back to this side(material world).
