"When light — knowledge — arises in all the gates (senses) of this body, then one should know that sattva has increased."
Interpretation
Shankaracharya. sarvadvāreṣu, ātmanaḥ upalabdhidvārāṇi śrotrādīni sarvāṇi karaṇāni — the gates through which the Self experiences = all the senses, such as the ears; antaḥkaraṇasya buddheḥ vṛttiḥ prakāśaḥ … tad eva jñānam.
Acharya Ramanuja. sarveṣu cakṣurādiṣu jñānadvāreṣu yadā vastuyāthātmyaprakāśe jñānam upajāyate — when through all the gates, such as the eyes, there is true knowledge of things.
