Gopala Campu of Srila Jiva Gosvami.
First chapter (purva campu, 3rd chapter). Verse 72. ayaṁ ca madhumaṅgala-nāmā snātakaḥ śrī-nārada-prakṛtiḥ |
This boy is Madhumaṅgala, a brāhmaṇa boy. He has a nature equal to Nārada’s.
Also in uttara campu, part 3, chapter 36, verse 42: Madhumaṅgala is Nārada’s counter image with a joking nature.
In another edition:
1.2.34: He was like Narada himself. He was decorated with skill in speaking joking words. His name was Madhumangala. Expertly speaking joking words that touched the heart, he delighted everyone. He was like a great treasure standing by Lord Krishna's side.
1.3.86:
This brahmana boy is named Madhumangala. He is saintly like Narada Muni himself.
Swami Tripurari wrote: Narada Muni is identifed with Madhumangala in the literature of the Vrindavana Goswamis.
There is a covert reference in Cc 2.14.229, where Srivasa, in the mood of Narada, begins to act like Madhumangala after hearing Svarupa Damodara's glorification of Vraja over Vaikuntha.
However, the sastra-yukti of it is clear: Narada is the farcical Brahmin of Vaidhi bhakti. Madhumangala is the farcical brahmin of Raga bhakti. The raga marga Vraja parikaras all have expansions that follow svayam bhagavan in His various lilas."

And here are the quotes:

Again:
According to Nārada Purāṇa, Skanda Purāṇa and Padma Purāṇa, Nārada Muni also has a Gopī form, which he obtained after meditating for a long time.
According to Gopāla-campū, Nārada Muni is also Madhumaṅgala Sakha.
Multiple Svarūpas. Multiple Rasas. In one same Līlā !!!
In addition, Nārada Muni participates in other Līlās. In Vaikuṇṭha as Nārada himself.
Nārada Muni is not Viṣṇu-tattva. He's Sādhana-siddha. And even if we consider that he is Nitya-siddha ... Siddha ... is ... Siddha !!!
The power of a liberated soul (Siddha) is immeasurable and indescribable. This is stated in the Vedānta-sūtra.
There is no way to be clearer than this.
