lord krishna is 8th incarnation of lord vishnu. lord agni (god of fire) suffered from a digestive problem because of intake of lot of ghee from the yagnas performed by many people. he approached lord brahma for help. lord brahma told him to burn entire forest of khandava to clear the problem and satisfy hunger. soon lord agni came to know that takshaka, the serpent-king lived in the same forest and was a friend of indra's. indra also promised that he would be on takshaka side to save the forest. once when roaming in the khandava vana, arjuna and krishna met agni. agni explained the situation and lord krishna promised agni that he and arjuna would be on agni's side. arjuna told agni that he and lord krishna need some celestial bows and weapons to fight with divine warriors like lord indra. agni told them that he could present weapons with help of varuna. then arjuna obtained celestial bow gandiva and akshaya thruthiya. and lord krishna got sudarshana chakra and sharanga during the "khandava-dahana". in this war lord krishna fought with rest of the gods and arjuna fought with lord indra. lord krishna and arjuna won the war. from that moment lord krishna used this sharanga as his bow. in krishna-arjuna war also lord krishna used sharanga. that's the reason why neither lord krishna nor arjuna gained the upper hand in the war. just before his ascension, lord krishna returned it to varuna by throwing it back into the ocean, varuna's domain.
