Shri Krishna married 16000 wives – Srimad Bhagavatam

📖Srimad Bhagavatam 10.69.1-6
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Hearing that Lord Kṛṣṇa had killed Narakāsura and had alone married many brides, Nārada Muni desired to see the Lord in this situation. He thought, “It is quite amazing that in a single body Lord Kṛṣṇa simultaneously married sixteen thousand women, each in a separate palace.” Thus the sage of the demigods eagerly went to Dvārakā.

Now if you include the other eight queens of Krishna that He had married earlier the number becomes 16,008. So as per puranas Krishna indeed has 16,108 wives.

📖Srimad Bhagavatam 10.58.56
Bhadrā was a princess of the Kaikeya kingdom and the daughter of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s paternal aunt Śrutakīrti. The Lord married Bhadrā when her brothers, headed by Santardana, offered her to Him.

Shri Krishna, who is worshiped by Hindus, is married to his sister.

📖Rigveda 10:85:45
Indra, showerer, make her the mother of sons, plural asing (to her husband); give her ten sons, make herhusband the eleventh.

📖Srimad Bhagavatam 10.61.1
Śukadeva Gosvāmī said: Each of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s wives gave birth to ten sons, who were not less than their father, having all His personal opulence.

Birth and marrige Jihad in Hinduism, Krishna Ji who is worshiped by billions of Hindus, he had so much power that he had sex with more than 16000+ girls and had more than 100k+ children from his wives. Krisna & his sons had so much power that we cannot compare them with anyone but we learned from this teaching that Hindus should marry as many as they can and give birth to as many sons as possible, and thus this verse indicates that Krishna had 16,108 wives & he begot 161,080 sons.

📖Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.14.31
Are all the chieftain sonsof Lord Kṛṣṇa, such as Suṣeṇa, Cārudeṣṇa, Sāmba the son of Jāmbavatī, and Ṛṣabha, along with their sons, all doing well?

As already mentioned, Kṛṣṇa married 16,108 wives, and each of them had ten sons. Therefore 16,108 × 10 = 161,080 sons. They all grew up, and each of them had as many sons as their father, and the whole aggregate was something near 1,610,800 family members of the Lord.
