Nārada once wanted to know how Kṛṣṇa managed to maintain so many wives without any difficulty or quarrels among them. To test it he first went to the palace of Rukmiṇī where both Kṛṣṇa and herself welcomed and treated him duly. Nārada next visited Satyabhāmā’s house where also Kṛṣṇa and herself welcomed and treated him well. In the houses of all the 16008 wives of Kṛṣṇa, Nārada had the same experience as above. He was wonder-struck at the divine powers of Kṛṣṇa and returned home praising Kṛṣṇa (Bhāgavata, 10th Skandha). - [Previous: c8.1327](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1327) - [Next: c8.1329](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1329) - [Up: c8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8) ## Cites (1) - [Bhāgavatapurāṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.bhagavata) — Vyāsa, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1328](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c8.1328) · Pramāṇa
