Narakasur was a demon who had got boon from God that no man could kill him. Being arrogant with the power, he bothered everyone. He kidnapped about 16100 girls and made them captive. His death had been essential for the welfare of the world. So Krishna along with Rukmini {not Satyavama} marched for the war with Narakasur. When they were blocked by a demon called Mura, Krishna killed him {so Krishna is called Murare}.Thereafter a fierce battle was fought with Narakasur. Narakasur had been protected by God's blessing. So by God's power he could even injure Krishna. But suddenly Narakasur was attacked up to death by Rukmini. Narakasur shouted," Oh God, you deceived me" Lord Krishna told," It was not betrayal, Narakasur. You told no man could kill you. And you are not killed by man but by woman" Then Narakasur died.
Lord Krishna and Rukmini released all 16100 girls. But there
was still a problem for those16100 girls as it was very strict society at that
time. The girls kidnapped by demon could not get space in the society. So Lord
Krishna built some palaces for them and provided them food, cloth and
shelter.
Unfortunately, those 16100 girls were called the wives of
Lord Krishna {but Mahabharat does not tell like that} which was not true at all.
Even today in 21st century, if a man gives shelter to a woman, our society
comments negatively. So there is no matter of surprise that Lord Krishna's mercy
towards those 16100 girls was criticized in that way by the then society. There
are many social servers in this world who have given help to many women by
establishing many social organizations. Are those women wives of those social servers?
If not we can't blame Krishna.
