Brihad Bhagavatamrta
Part 1 Chapter 7 Text 123

pratyuvacoddavah smitva
prabho bhityapi lajjaya
tato brahmanya-devena
svayam uktah pravesya sah

TRANSLATION
Uddhava smiled and answered, “My Lord, because he is afraid and embarrassed.” Then the Lord, who always favors the brahmanas, Himself brought Narada inside and spoke to him.
