Details of Wives of Shri Krishna

Radhe Radhe,

Everyone knows Shri Krishna had many wives.
Here i want to answer, how many wives Krishna had and their details.

So Krishna had 16,108 wives.
They were like 16108 = 8(PatRani) + 16100(RaajRani).
8 of them were main queens:
Their names are:
Rukmini, Jambanti, Satyabhama, Kalindi(Yamraj sister), MitraVinda, Satya, Bhadra, Laxmana

These 8 patrani are called ashtada prakriti(eight powers of nature).
All of this nature is under ashtada prakriti.
All of these 8 powers are under Shri Krishna and Shri Krishna is owner of them.
Those who bow down before nature is called Jeev.

God has given power to only human that we can override this behavior of nature and liberate from this world.
Animals doesn't have this power and they only behave according to the nature.


Rest of the 16100 were richa(verse) of Vedas.
Each of the Ved has 4025 verses, and we have total 4 Vedas.
Each verse came in form of a girl and married to Shri Krishna.
These girls were captive under Bhaumasur(son of Bhumi), Shri krishna defeated Bhaumasur and liberated these girls and married them.
