During that time, Krishna accepted Kalindi as His wife and brought her back to Dwaraka. Later, Krishna married Mitravinda from Avantipura, Nagnajiti from Ayodhya, Laksmana from Madra and Bhadra from Kaikeya. Narakasura, also known as Bhaumasura, had created a series of disturbances to the demigods, and Indra thus requested Krishna’s help to kill him. Krishna first decapitated the Mura demon with His Sudarshan Chakra, and then ended the lives of his seven demoniac sons. When He confronted Narakasura, the demon launched a trident attack, but Krishna dodged it and beheaded him as well. Relieved of the burden, Goddess Bhumi profusely thanked Krishna with beautiful poetry. When the Lord freed the 16,100 imprisoned maidens from Narakasura’s palace, they all desired Him as their husband, so Krishna sent them to Dwaraka. Thereafter, Krishna went to Indraloka to acquire the *parijata* tree that Satyabhama desired. Despite Krishna’s recent merciful intervention to save Indra from the demons, the demigod wasn’t willing to give that tree, and Krishna had to fight him to secure it! Later, Krishna married the 16,100 princesses and provided each one with a beautiful palace. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
