'shunned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rig veda embracing old indian source of doctrines' is the wordplay.
'rig' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'rigged' mean this).
'embracing' is an insertion indicator.
'old indian' becomes 'oi' (this might be a standard abbreviation which I don't know about).
'source of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letter of 'doctrines' is 'd'.
'veda' is an anagram of 'avde'.
'avde' going around 'oi' is 'avoide'.
'avoide'+'d'='AVOIDED'
