ṣy (उपेक्ष्य) refers to “abandoning� (the dualism of extremes), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] All this is impermanent and spoilt by the three sorts of pain. Recognising it to be insubstantial, comtemptible and only fit for rejection, one attains peace. When was that age or time of life when the dualism of extremes did not exist for men? Abandoning them (ܱṣy), a person who is happy to take whatever comes attains  perfection [tānyܱṣy yathāprāptavartī siddhimavāpnuyāt]. [...]�.
