In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Tyājya (त्याज्य) refers to “eschewed/excluded” (i.e., from sacrificial rites), and is used by the evil-minded Dakṣa to describe the Brahmins that walked out on his sacrifice, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.27. Accordingly as Brahmā narrated to Nārada:—“[...] when the sage Dadhīci and others staged a walkout, the evil-minded Dakṣa, inimical to Śiva, said mocking at them.:—‘[...] They are slow-witted and senseless. They are rogues indulging in false deliberations and discussions. They are out of the Vedic circle. These men of evil conduct shall be eschewed from sacrificial rites (tyājya)’”.

Tyājya (त्याज्य) refers to “avoiding” (the vices), according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “[...] Among these [sports], eighteen things are mentioned which are known as vyasana (addictions or vices), and without these the senses are useless, and these eighteen are the real causes of exquisite delight. [...] The conclusion, therefore, is that addiction to these vices is to be avoided (tyājya) by all means, because the Lord has said that addiction to these leads to bondage. [...]”.

Tyājya (त्याज्य) refers to “(those thing that are to be) rejected”, according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “Knowing yourself as truly one and indestructible, how could a wise man possessing self-knowledge like you feel any pleasure in acquiring wealth? [...] How should a strong-minded person, who knows that what he sees is by its very nature nothing, consider one thing to be grasped (grāhya) and another to be rejected (tyājya)? [idaṃ grāhyamidaṃ tyājyaṃ sa kiṃ paśyati dhīradhīḥ] For someone who has eliminated attachment, and who is free from dualism and from desire, an object of enjoyment that comes of itself is neither painful nor pleasurable”.
