द Da

娜字門一切法施不可得故

陀字門,諸法善心生故,亦施相故。

入柁字門,悟一切法調伏寂靜真如平等無分別故 (Xuanzang)

'Da' is a gateway because the generosity / giving (dana दान ) of all dharmas is unattainable.

the virtuous mind of all dharmas is generated by giving (dana दान).

(Sanskrit) - of the dānta-damatha-paricchinna (दान्त-दमथ-परिच्छिन्न) of all dharmas.

DA is a door to all dharms because "tamed" and "taming" (dantadamatha) have been circumscribed

Conze

The syllable DA is an opening because of the restraint, self-control, and circumspection (dānta-damatha-paricchinna) of all mental phenomena.
