”

Kalindi: She is considered the daughter of Surya (sun-god), she is considered as the deity of river Yamuna.

Once Krishna and Arjuna were hunting and resting along the coast of Yamuna. They see a young girl walking on the banks, Krishna asked Arjuna to enquire who she was, when Arjuna asks her who she was she says she is the daughter of Sun god and was in penance and is desiring to marry Lord Vishnu.

Thus Krishna marries her

Nagnajiti: She was the daughter of Nagnajita of Kosala, the king Nagnajit had taken a vow of giving his daughter’s hand in marriage to whoever tames his 7 bulls and puts noose on them successfully. Many had tried but failed.

When Krishna heard about this he went to Kosala, he was greeted by the king and worshipped by him, When krishna expressed his intent to marry his daughter. He mentioned the task that Krishna has to complete before having her hand in marriage. Krishna assumes 7 forms and tames all of them at once, thus takes her hand in marriage.

Mitravinda: She was a cousin of Sri Krishna, her brothers wanted her to marry Duryodhana and arranged for a Swayamvara, but they had not invited Krishna and Balarama, Balarama knowing of Mitravinda’s affection for krishna advised Krishna to abduct her. Krishna being not sure of Mitravinda’s wishes took his sister Subhadra with him, who talked with Mitravinda and conformed her love for Krishna. Thus knowing of her affection for him, Krishna abducted her and married her.

Lakshmana: Lakshmana’s father the King of Madra had arranged for a swayamvara, where the archer had to shoot the target to win the hand of bride in marriage, Among all the princes gathered, Duryodhana and Jarasandha miss the target while Krishna hits the target. Arjuna misses the target intentionally.

Rohini: She is sometimes considered as Jambavati, other scriptures mention her as one among 16100 wives and as chief among them”
