When the illumination of knowledge radiates through all the doors of the senses in this body, then one should know that sattva has greatly increased.

Swami Gambiranandaafter Śaṅkara's bhāṣya· paired with Śaṅkara

When knowledge, like light, illuminates from all gateways (i.e., the senses), then one should know that Sattva prevails.

Swami Adidevanandaafter Rāmānuja's bhāṣya· paired with Rāmānuja

When the knowledge-light arises in all the gates of this body, then one should also know that the Sattva has predominantly increased.

Dr. S. Sankaranarayanafter Madhva's bhāṣya· paired with Madhva

When the wisdom-light shines through every gate of this body, then it may be known that Sattva is predominant.

Swami SivanandaThe Bhagavad Gita

When the light of knowledge gleams forth from all the gates of the body, then be sure that purity prevails.

Shri Purohit SwamiThe Geeta

ŚaṅkarācāryaGītā-bhāṣya
Advaita Vedānta· Classical
Machine translation · draft

In all the gates, the gates of the Self's perceiving, hearing and the rest, all the instruments, in all those gates a function, an illumination, of the inner instrument, the intellect, arises in this body. That is knowledge. When an illumination named knowledge thus arises, then, by the mark of the light of knowledge, one should know that sattva has grown, has risen up. This is the sign of risen-up rajas.
