Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam
[Canto 4, Ch. 31]
bhagavān.  Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Thākura said,  sākṣād-dharitvena samasta-śāstraiḥ : in every  śāstra  the spiritual master is accepted directly as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This does not mean that the spiritual master or a saintly person like Nārada has actually become the Supreme Personality of Godhead, but he is accepted in this way because he possesses the Supreme Personality of Godhead within his heart constantly. As described here ( āviṣṭātmā ), when one is simply absorbed in the thought of Kṛṣṇa, he is also called  bhagavān . Bhagavān possesses all opulence. If one possesses Bhagavān within his heart always, does he not automatically possess all opulence also? In that sense a great devotee like Nārada can be called  bhagavān . However, we cannot tolerate when a rascal or imposter is called  bhagavān . One must possess either all opulences or the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Bhagavān, who possesses all opulences.

TRANSLATION
The great sage Nārada said: When a living entity is born to engage in the devotional service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is the supreme controller, his birth, all his fruitive activities, his lifespan, his mind and his words are all factually perfect.
PURPORT
In this verse the word  nṛṇām  is very important. There are many other births besides human birth, but Nārada Muni is herein especially speaking
