What about Chandraprabha'a story? Is that here say too?

Point is that even if medeaval authors of the Ramayan, like Tulsidas, Krittivas, Ramdev, et al had written about this, it couldn't have been retroactively included in the Puranas, which were written much earlier (unless of course, they were tampered with.) So it leaves open that question. Once, in the Ramayan forum, there was some discussion about Vedavati appearing b4 Rama after Ravan's death and wanting to marry him, and even Brahma requesting it and Sita approving it, but Rama still declining. That doesn't even make sense since Sita was Vedavati reborn. But in any case, there weren't 7 other women in the Ramayan who wanted to marry Rama, much less 16,100. 😆

In short, there are no pre-existing reasons why Krishna had to marry anybody: he simply did it b'cos the invitations came, either from the women involved themselves, or from their fathers.

It was actually the same thing which happened to Seeta

The first statement, I'm assuming you're talking about the 16,100 women of Narakasura?

yes I am talking of the 16100 queens

By Seeta I mean that she was sent into vanvas because people didnt want a lady as queen who had stayed in the house of another man

Same held for these 16100 women. All doors were closed for them because they had stayed in the house of another man

At that time Lord Krishna rescued them, symbolic meaning is that when all doors close on a person the door of the Lord stays open

The difference between Ram and Krishna was that Ram was not a purna Avatar while Krishna was

Krishna is Narayan and Narayan is Krishna

And to Narayan all souls are equal and his door is open to all

Dwaraka people had no opinion on Krishna's wives. Only issue here - at that time, if a woman was thought to be defiled by someone else, not just in body, but also in mind and spirit, the doors on her were closed. That's how it was w/ Amba - she never loved anybody but Shalva, but b'cos Bheeshma had abducted her, and he'd be perceived as accepting Amba as a gift from Bheeshma, he couldn't accept her. Vichitravirya refused to accept Amba as well since her heart and mind were on Shalva, while Bheeshma couldn't marry her either b'cos of his stupid vow. And while Amba was pure in all 3 aspects, the Narakasura women had been used by him, and so nobody was expected to accept them.

Since Krishna wasn't making any of them the queen, he could safely marry them all w/o raising eyebrows. Also, their status as his secondary wives also helped in this regard.

I only meant that he was born with only 14 kalas of Vishnu while Krishna was born with all 16 kalas

@ Janaki they all had status of Rani while the eight had status of Patrani
