SB 10.23.38
athanusmrtya vipras te
anvatapyan krtagasah
yad visvesvarayor yacñam
ahanma nr-vidambayoh
Translation:
The brahmanas then came to their senses and began to feel great remorse. They thought, “We have sinned, for we have denied the request of the two Lords of the universe, who deceptively appeared as ordinary human beings.”
Purport:
Lord Krsna and Lord Balarama did not try to deceive the brahmanas: They straightforwardly requested food from them. Rather, the brahmanas deceived themselves, as indicated by the Sanskrit word nr-vidambayoh, which means that Krsna and Balarama are bewildering for an ordinary human being who considers Them also to be human. Still, because the wives of the brahmanas were great devotees of the Lord, the foolish brahmanas received spiritual benefit and finally came to their senses.
