At the very end of the Srimadbhagavatam, there is a statement about Sage
Shuka who narrated the Bhagavatam to Parikshit:

श्रीमद्भागवतपुराणम्/स्कन्धः १२/अध्यायः १३

https://sa.wikisource.org/s/ttx

योगीन्द्राय नमस्तस्मै शुकाय ब्रह्मरूपिणे ।
संसारसर्पदष्टं यो विष्णुरातममूमुचत् ॥ २१ ॥

I offer my humble obeisances to Śrī Śukadeva  the best of mystic sages and
verily Brahman. He saved Mahārāja Parīkṣit, who was bitten by the snake of
material existence.

It is noteworthy that Sukha, a Brahma vit, is called Brahmarūpa'. He
liberated Parikshit from samsāra.

The Vamshidhara commentary says: ब्रह्मरूपिणे = परब्रह्मस्वरूपाय - Verily
Brahman.

The Upanishadic statement: brahma veda brahmaiva is endorsed by the
Bhagavatam in the case of Sage Shuka.
