Respected Vaishnavaites,

>From our vaishnavaite sampradayic references, we come to know that Krishna married Napinnai after conquering seven bulls.

Nappinai was believed to be living in gokulam. But this practice of “conquering seven bulls” is only referred in old tamil literatures and not seen in north Indian literatures.  Ref: Sanga Song “kollERRuk kOdu ERa ancuvaanai ezhumaiyum pullaaLE aaya magaL “ My doubt is whether nappinnai was from tamilnadu and Krishna married her after coming here? . There was one poet by name thuvarai kOmaan who was in middle sangam. Was he Krishnaa?
