Krṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead
Being thus ordered by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, all the boys went to the  brāhmaṇas  and began to ask for some charity. They approached them with folded hands and fell down on the ground to offer respect. “O earthly gods, kindly hear us who are ordered by Lord Krṣṇa and Balarāma. We hope you know Them both very well, and we wish you all good fortune. Krṣṇa and Balarāma are tending cows nearby, and we have accompanied Them. We have come to ask for some food from you. You are all  brāhmaṇas  and knowers of religious principles, and if you think that you should give us charity, then give us some food and we shall all eat along with Krṣṇa and Balarāma. You are the most respectable  brāhmaṇas  within the human society, and you are expected to know all the principles of religious procedure.”
Although the boys were village boys and were not expected to be learned in all the Vedic principles of religious ritual, they hinted that because of their association with Krṣṇa and Balarāma, they knew all those principles. When the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krṣṇa and Balarāma, asked for food, the boys would immediately deliver it without hesitation because it is stated in the  Bhagavad-gītā  that one should perform  yajña  (sacrifices) only for the satisfaction of Viṣṇu.

The boys said, “We can take your food at the present stage of your ceremony, for now it will not be prohibitory. So you can deliver us the foodstuff.”
Although the companions of Lord Krṣṇa and Balarāma were simple cowherd boys, they were in a position to dictate even to the high class  brāhmaṇas  engaged in the Vedic rituals of sacrifices. But the  smārta brāhmaṇas , who were simply sacrificial-minded, could not understand the dictation of the transcendental devotees of the Lord. They could not even appreciate the begging of the Supreme Lord, Krṣṇa and Balarāma. Although they heard all the arguments on behalf of Krṣṇa and Balarāma, they did not care for them, and they refused to speak to the boys. Despite being highly elevated in the knowledge of Vedic sacrificial rites, all such nondevotee  brāhmaṇas , although they think of themselves as very highly
