Commentary: Gauḍīya-bhāṣya by Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura:

At the time of bidding farewell, Śrī Mahāprabhu said to Murāri, “You have properly understood the glories of Nityānanda.” When the Supreme Personality of Godhead realized how Murāri Gupta had intense love for Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, who was His manifestation, the Lord understood

that Murāri Gupta was Hanumān. On seeing Murāri Gupta’s worship with attachment in the mood of servitorship, Śrī Gaurasundara realized his identity in the pastimes of Rāma. Therefore Murāri became a recipient of Mahāprabhu’s mercy because of his intense love for Nityānanda.
