SB 10.23.12
na te yad om iti procur
na neti ca parantapa
gopa nirasah pratyetya
tathocuh krsna-ramayoh
Translation:
When the brahmanas failed to reply even with a simple yes or no, O chastiser of the enemy [Pariksit], the cowherd boys returned disappointed to Krsna and Rama and reported this to Them.
SB 10.23.13
tad upakarnya bhagavan
prahasya jagad-isvarah
vyajahara punar gopan
darsayan laukikim gatim
Translation:
Hearing what had happened, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the Lord of the universe, simply laughed. Then He again addressed the cowherd boys, showing them the way men act in this world.
Purport:
By laughing, Lord Krsna indicated to the cowherd boys that they need not be angry at the ritualistic brahmanas but should understand that one who begs will often be refused.
