O King Parīkṣit, Mahārāja Bharata had three pleasing wives, who were daughters of the King of Vidarbha. When all three of them bore children who did not resemble the King, these wives thought that he would consider them unfaithful queens and reject them, and therefore they killed their own sons.

Translation
O King! Mahārāja Bharata had three pleasing wives, who were daughters of the King of Vidarbha. When the King said the sons did not resemble him, the wives, fearing rejection, killed their own sons. The husband said “These children do not resemble me.” Fearing that the King would reject them for being unfaithful, they killed their sons.
