Namaste Subbu-ji,

With respect to the captioned subject, my Gita teacher told me that
that the crux lies in the following shloka:

तमुवाच हृषीकेशः प्रहसन्निव भारत।
सेनयोरुभयोर्मध्ये विषीदन्तमिदं वचः।।2.10।।

There is a great weight associated with the word 'प्रहसन्निव' and would share my 
guruji's sanskrit description tomorrow.  This single word befits the 'jivanmukta lakSaNa'
of Bhagavan Krishna.  Even shrI. madhusudana saraswathi also states as:

...............
अनुचिताचरणप्रकाशनेन लज्जाम्बुधौ मज्जयन्निव हृषीकेशः 'सर्वान्तर्यामी' भगवानिदं वक्ष्यमाणमशोच्यानित्यादि 
वचः परमगम्भीरार्थमनुचिताचरणप्रकाशकमुक्तवान्नतूपेक्षितवानित्यर्थः
...........

Infact, this 'smile of Krishna' is NOT a sarcastic one but the lakSaNa of a
jIvanmukta / brahmavit.

rgs,
sriram
