The cowherd boys doubted the generosity of the brāhmaṇas, and thus they used the word bubhukṣitau, meaning that Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma were hungry. The boys expected the brāhmaṇas to know the Vedic injunction annasya kṣuditaṁ pātram: "Anyone who is hungry is a fit candidate for receiving food in charity." But if the brāhmaṇas would not recognize the authority of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, their title dvija would be taken to mean merely "born from two parents" (dvi-from two, ja-born) rather than "twice-born." When the brāhmaṇas did not respond to the cowherd boys' initial request, the boys addressed the brāhmaṇas, with a slight trace of sarcasm, as dharma-vit-tamāḥ, "O best of the knowers of religion." | The cowherd boys doubted the generosity of the ''brāhmaṇas'', and thus they used the word ''bubhukṣitau'', meaning that Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma were hungry.

TRANSLATION
Lord Rāma and Lord Acyuta are tending Their cows not far from here. They are hungry and want you to give Them some of your food. Therefore, O brāhmaṇas, O best of the knowers of religion, if you have faith please give some food to Them.
PURPORT
The cowherd boys doubted the generosity of the brāhmaṇas, and thus they used the word bubhukṣitau, meaning that Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma were hungry. The boys expected the brāhmaṇas to know the Vedic injunction annasya kṣuditaṁ pātram: "Anyone who is hungry is a fit candidate for receiving food in charity." But if the brāhmaṇas would not recognize the authority of Kṛṣṇa and Balarāma, their title dvija would be taken to mean merely "born from two parents" (dvi-from two, ja-born) rather than "twice-born." When the brāhmaṇas did not respond to the cowherd boys' initial request, the boys addressed the brāhmaṇas, with a slight trace of sarcasm, as dharma-vit-tamāḥ, "O best of the knowers of religion."
