Srimad-Bhagavatam: Canto 6 - Chapter 1 - Verse 23

Sanskrit:

कृत्तिकादीनि नक्षत्राणीन्दो: पत्‍न्यस्तु भारत ।दक्षशापात् सोऽनपत्यस्तासु यक्ष्मग्रहार्दित: ॥ २३ ॥

ITRANS:

kṛttikādīni nakṣatrāṇ-īndoḥ patnyas tu bhāratadakṣa-śāpāt so ’napatyastāsu yakṣma-grahārditaḥ

Translation:

O Mahārāja Parīkṣit, best of the Bhāratas, the constellations named Kṛttikā were all wives of the moon-god. However, because Prajāpati Dakṣa had cursed him to suffer from a disease causing gradual destruction, the moon-god could not beget children in any of his wives.

Purport:

Because the moon-god was very much attached to Rohiṇī, he neglected all his other wives. Therefore, seeing the bereavement of these daughters, Prajāpati Dakṣa became angry and cursed him.
