Canto 10 Chapter 81 Texts 1-2

sri-suka uvaca
sa ittham dvija-mukhyena
saha sankathayan harih
sarva-bhuta-mano-’bhijñah
smayamana uvaca tam

brahmanyo brahmanam krsno
bhagavan prahasan priyam
premna niriksanenaiva
preksan khalu satam gatih

TRANSLATION
[Sukadeva Gosvami said:] Lord Hari, Krsna, perfectly knows the hearts of all living beings, and He is especially devoted to the brahmanas. While the Supreme Lord, the goal of all saintly persons, conversed in this way with the best of the twice-born, He laughed and spoke the following words to that dear friend of His, the brahmana Sudama, all the while smiling and looking upon him with affection.
