SrI:

Dear SrImathi Rangarajan:

This is a very meaningful question.
I can give one PramANam and have to
extend it from there thru yukthi Vaadham.

SrIman NaarAyaNa SabdhSArtham is all encompassing .
It is encyclopedaic in scope.One of The main aspects
is the Sesha-Seshithva sambhandham outlined by
the Sruthis. 

KrishNA is indeed vibhava avathAram of SrIman NaarAyaNa.
The Soulabhyam , Souseelyam and all the other Vibhava avathAra
GuNams of KrishNa mkaes HIm " human" in relationship to
a wide variety of PandithALs and PaamarALs.

Sruthi (ChAndhOgyam)expressly points out to KrishNa 
( just as NaarAyaNAnuvAkam and MahA NaarAyaNOpanishad
salute SrIman NaarAyaNa for His all-encompassing Tatthvams).

ChaAdOghyam salutes KrishNa this way: ( GhOrAngiras Vaakyam)

ChAndhOgyam : 3.17.6 (Dr.NSA Swamy's Translation and
Commentary of SrI Ranga RaamAnuja Muni's VisishtAdhvaithic
itrepretation)

" The Seer GhOrAngiras practised this Purusha YagnyA
with the dedication as "This is sub-servient to KrishNa ,
the son of Devaki ( KrishNAya Devaki PuthraYA). "

SrI RangarAmaanuja Muni explains that GhOrAngiras 
practised this VidhyA with the reflection that
He (KrishNa < the son of Devaki ) is the Seshi /Swamyand 
that he(GhOrAngiras) is the Seshan /Daasan of KrishNa
and made the Saattvika ThyAgam and ultimately
attained Mukthi (KrishNa sEshabhUtham Tath PreethyarTam
ukthvA). 

This Purusha Yajnam is different from Sarvahutha
Yajnam celebrated thru Purushasooktham.

So, when we say KrishNaarpaNamasthu,
we are reminded of our dear KrishNa 
and His relationship to us in a most graspable
manner thru His leelAs and chEshtithams . 

We also say at the beginning of Sankalpam ,
" SrIman Naarayana PrethyarTam " and at
the end of the karmAs conclude with 
" SrI krishNArpanam asthu:.

but i find it interesting to note that as part of
