speak smilingly, he is considered to be in the mode of enjoyment. This trait was found in Krṣṇa when He appeared at the sacrificial arena of King Kamsa. It is described that the lotus-eyed Krṣṇa entered amongst the wrestlers without being impolite to them, glanced over them with determination, and seemed to them just like an elephant attacking some plants. Even while speaking to them, Krṣṇa was still smiling, and in this way He stood valiantly upon the wrestling dais.
Pleasing
When one’s characteristics are very sweet and desirable, his personality is called pleasing. An example of Kṛṣṇa’s pleasing nature is thus described in the  Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam : “One day while Kṛṣṇa was awaiting the arrival of Śrīmati Rādhārāṇī by the bank of the Yamunā, He began to make a garland of  kadamba  flowers. In the meantime, Śrīmati Rādhārāṇī appeared there, and at that time Murāri [Kṛṣṇa], the enemy of Mura, glanced over Rādhārāṇī very sweetly.”
Dependable
Any person who is reliable in all circumstances is called dependable. In this connection Rūpa Gosvāmī says that even the demons were relying upon the dependability of Kṛṣṇa because they were confident that Kṛṣṇa would never attack them without due cause. Therefore, with faith and confidence, they used to live with their doors wide open. And the demigods, although afraid of the demons, were confident of the protection of Kṛṣṇa. Therefore, even in the midst of danger they were engaged in sportive activities. Persons who had never undergone the reformatory ritualistic ceremonies of the  Vedas  were confident that Kṛṣṇa would accept only faith and devotion, and so they were engaged in Kṛṣṇa consciousness and were freed from all anxieties. In other words, all kinds of men, from the demigods down to the uncultured, can rely on the causeless mercy of the Supreme Lord.
