EKLAVYA IN MAHABHRATA WAS KRISHNA’S COUSIN
Eklavya, the youngster who gave Guru Dronacharya his thumb as gurudakshina in the Mahabharata, was actually Krishna’s cousin.
He was the son of Devsharava (Brother of Vasudeva) who got lost in a forest and was found by Nishada Hiranyadhanu.
For his great sacrifice of paying gurudakshina of this right thumb to Guru Dronacharya, after which he could never use bow and arrow again, Krishna blessed him that he will soon reincarnate and will take revenge from Dronacharya.
This was Dhristadyumna who killed Dronacharya in Mahabharata.

He is a significant deity in Hinduism who is worshipped in a wide range of Hindu traditions from many different points of view.
But Lord Krishna is also a member of the Jain religion.
He is addressed as Vasudeva, in one of the Triads.

KRISHNA DECIDED WHO WILL BE HIS MURDERER
Bali was killed by Lord Rama in a prior incarnation.
Tara, Bali’s widow, was given a promise by Lord Rama that Bali would take revenge from Lord Rama in this next incarnation.
Bali was reborn as Jara (the man with whose arrow shri Krishna died) and he used a straightforward arrow to put an end to Krishna’s time on earth.
This also completed Gandhari’s curse. Shri Krishna already knew who will kill him.

The most well-known of them was Samba, the son of Jambavati, who had been cursed by sages and was responsible for the destruction of the Vasudev clan.

Hanuman and Sanjaya were also present when Krishna told the Bhagavad Gita narrative, in addition to Arjuna.
