One day Krishna accompanied by his Sakhas went into the deep forest. They began to watch the wild birds and copy their sounds. In due course of time, they felt awfully hungry. But they had no food with them because they had come only on an outing and not for grazing their cattle. The Gualas expressed a desire for eating something before Krishna who himself was hungry.

All of a sudden, they felt the sweet smell arising out of a yajna fire. It took them no time to follow the yajna being performed somewhere near by. So, Krishna sent some Gualas to bring food from there. The Gualas went to the site of the yajna and saw that some Brahmans of Mathura were performing the yajna. They asked for food but the Brahmans scared them away with harsh words. So, the Gualas came back sad and disappointed.

Krishna now sent the Gualas to the wives of the Brahmans for food. When these ladies came to know that Krishna wanted food, they themselves reached the forest with various delicious dishes. These dishes had been prepared for the Brahmans to be eaten after the completion of the yajna. The Gualas, Balram and Krishna enjoyed the sumptuous dishes to their full. The Brahman ladies felt exalted to pass some time with Krishna. When they returned to their homes, their husbands too came to the right path.
