Ch 14Verse 11
Adhyāya 14 Shloka 11

सर्वद्वारेषु देहेऽस्मिन्प्रकाश उपजायते | ज्ञानं यदा तदा विद्याद्विवृद्धं सत्त्वमित्युत || ११ ||

sarva-dvāreṣu dehe 'smin prakāśa upajāyate | jñānaṁ yadā tadā vidyād vivṛddhaṁ sattvam ity uta || 11 ||

"The manifestations of the mode of goodness can be experienced when all the gates of the body are illuminated by knowledge."

Historical Context

The Direct Meaning

Krishna now provides the diagnostic symptoms for each mode. How do you know if Sattva (goodness) has won the battle? You will know because 'sarva-dvāreṣu' (all the gates/senses of the body) become illuminated (prakāśa upajāyate) by pure knowledge (jñānam).
