Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Paritrāṇa (परित्राण) refers to “great protection”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.35 (“The story of Padmā and Pippalāda”).—Accordingly, as Dharma said to Padmā (wife of sage Pippalāda): “O chaste lady, you are blessed, you are devotedly attached to your husband. Hail to you. Take this boon. Your husband is the cause of your great protection (paritrāṇa-kāraṇa). Let him be a young man with sexual vigour and righteousness. He shall be comely in appearance, good in conduct, eloquent in speech and perpetually stable in youth. Let him enjoy more longevity than Mārkaṇḍeya. Let him be richer than Kubera. Let him enjoy more prosperity and power than Indra. [...]”.

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Paritrāṇa (परित्राण) refers to the “welfare (of everyone)”, according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra chapter 1.—Accordingly: “In order to destroy this scornful arrogance and false pride, the Buddha manifests the immense power of his miraculous power and wisdom. About the Prajñāpāramitā he says: ‘My miraculous power has immense qualities and surpasses the threefold world, it is meant for the welfare of all (sarva-paritrāṇa). To form a bad opinion of it is to commit an immense sin; to give pure faith to it is to be assured of the happiness of gods and men and to reach the fruit of nirvāṇa definitively’”.

Paritrāṇa (परित्राण) refers to “rescue”, according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [As the afflicted Nāgas said to Bhagavān]: “[...] However, O Bhagavān, from today on I make a vow in the presence of the Tathāgata. Wherever this spell-holder king will circulate, there, O Bhagavān, the Nāgas will not make calamities again. Wherever this heart-dhāraṇī is used for protection, [there is] rescue (paritrāṇa), shelter, safeguard and the sealing of the boundaries and sealing of the maṇḍala. Where an amulet-cord is made, for that person, O Bhagavān, we will constantly ward off all calamities”.
