Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

After a while, when the Lord regained His composure, the friend of Balarāma explained the meaning of the dream. If the word rāma-mitra refers to Hanumān, the servant of Rāma, then it indicates that Murāri Gupta explained the meaning of the Lord’s dream.

The phrase svabhāva-caritra hailāindicates that the Lord regained His normal, or natural, state.
