Then above that is the Transmental (manonmanī). It has the quality of reflection (manana) and salvation (trāṇa). It is above the End of the Twelve (dvādaśānta) and measures twelve fingers. In this way, (adding) both ninety-six and twelve fingers together, makes one hundred and eight. That is the End of the Sixteen (ṣoḍaśānta)”.

He does all, he protects (trāṇa) the trembling minds [of those who are afraid of saṃsāra]. He leads. From [Śiva's] leading, [the practitioner] shall attain liberation from great fear. Thus, [the mantra] is called “netra”, because [it] protects. [...]”.

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

Trāṇa (त्राण) refers to “salvation”, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XXXII-XXXIV).—Accordingly, “... From the absolute point of view (paramārtha), the true nature (bhūtalakṣaṇa) of things, there are no beings (sattva) and there is no salvation (trāṇa). It is merely conventionally that we affirm the existence of salvation. As for you, you seek the absolute (paramārtha) in the conventional (saṃvṛti), which is inadmissible. It is as if you were looking for a precious pearl (maṇiratna) in a brick or a stone: never would you find it there.”.

Trāṇa (त्राण) [=Trāṇakaraṇa?] refers to a “protector” [?], according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “[...] Having bowed to the feet of the Tathāgata, Siṃha and Siṃhavikrāntagāmin, the noble ones who are skilled in the meaning of the dharma, uttered these verses: ‘(174) Since you are the refuge, the protector, and the last resort (śaraṇa-parāyaṇa-trāṇa-karaṇa), you has become the light for the blind in the world and are expert in knowing the thoughts and actions of living beings. May you make them live in accordance with their faith. (175) This king longs for riches and happiness, is captivated by form, sound, and smell, never makes any offering, and does not even come to the nearness [of the Tathāgata.] How could he hear the dharma?. [...]’”.

The Brahmin discontinued the fire oblation, became defenceless, deprived of a refuge and last resort (aparāyaṇa) and there was nobody to save him. He started to cry out seeking refuge (śaraṇa), defence (trāṇa) and a last resort (parāyaṇa) at the Bhagavān. [...]”.

He certainly is not protected even by the energetic 30”.
