In this article, we will see the names of Lord Krishna’s 8 wives and 80 sons. Lord Krishna had a total of 16108 wives, and each of them gave birth to 10 sons, but only the names of eight primary queens and their sons are available. The remaining 16100 wives were the women he rescued from Narakasura and had nowhere to go as their families and society had abandoned them.
