Tattvārthasūtra
sadguņocchādana - and proclaiming non-existent qualities (in oneself) – asadguņodbhāvana. These lead to the influx of karmas which lead to low-status (nīcagotra). What is the cause of the influx of karmas that lead to high-status (uccagotra)?
तद्विपर्ययो नीचैर्वृत्त्यनुत्सेको चोत्तरस्य ॥२६॥
[तद्विपर्ययः] उस नीच गोत्रकर्म के आस्रव के कारणों से विपरीत अर्थात् परप्रशंसा, आत्मनिंदा इत्यादि [च ] तथा [ नोचैर्वृत्त्यनुत्सेको] नम्रवृत्ति होना तथा अनुत्सेक - मद का अभाव - सो [ उत्तरस्य ] दूसरे गोत्रकर्म अर्थात् उच्च गोत्रकर्म के आस्रव के कारण हैं।
The opposites of those mentioned in the previous sūtra and humility (namravịtti) and modesty (anutseka) cause the influx (āsrava) of karmas that lead to high-status (uccagotra).
The word 'tad'-'that'- in the sūtra refers to the causes of the influx of karmas that lead to low-status, just mentioned. 'Viparyaya' are the opposites. What are the opposites? The opposites are censuring oneself, praising others, proclaiming existent qualities (in others), and not proclaiming non-existent qualities (in oneself). Bowing before the virtuous with veneration is humility - namravịtti or nīcaiḥvrtti. To be free from pride in spite of possessing knowledge, etc., is modesty - anutseka. To be free from pride means the absence of egotism or haughtiness. These cause influx of karmas that lead to high-status (uccagotra). What is the cause of influx of obstructive (antarāya) karmas?
