There Lord Kṛṣṇa saw sixteen thousand royal maidens, whom Bhauma had taken by force from various kings.

Purport:

Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī provides evidence from the sage Parāśara, as quoted in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa (5.29.31), to the effect that there were actually 16,100 royal maidens imprisoned in Bhauma’s palace: “Within the maidens’ quarters, O wise one, that Lord of unequaled prowess found 16,100 princesses.” Another relevant verse from the Viṣṇu Purāṇa (5.29.9) is as follows: “The demon [Bhaumāsura] kidnapped the unmarried daughters of demigods, siddhas, asuras and kings, O Janārdana, and imprisoned them in his palace.”
