In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita—Text on Visha Chikitsa (p)Yogakṣema (योगक्षेम) refers to “everything which is desired”, according to the Saṅkarṣaṇa Samhitā (verse 8.5-8).—Accordingly, the Garuḍamantra clears all the doubts of the person who chants it and protects him irrespective of his desire. It always bestows peace, prosperity and wellness on its aspirant voluntarily just like a mother, and showers strength like a father. It gives joy like one’s own spouse and showers knowledge even as a preceptor would do to a student. To put it succintly, the Garuḍamantra is on par with lord Hari himself in bestowing on his devotees, the best of everything desired by them (yogakṣema-prada), simultaneously assuring them of constant protection in this and the other world

Non-duality (advaya), the gates of security (yogakṣema), The destruction of wrong views, The domain surveyed by the Buddhas, That is the ‘doctrine of Anātman’”
2) Yogakṣema (योगक्षेम) refers to “salvation” according Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter IV).—There are four ways of answering (vyākaraṇa): (i) answering in a categorical way (ekāṃśena-vyākaraṇa): [this is how he answers when it concerns], for example, the Buddha, the absolute (parama), nirvāṇa and salvation (yogakṣema); (ii) answering by distinguishing (vibhajya-vyākaraṇa); (iii) answering by asking a question (paripṛcchā-vyākaraṇa); (iv) answering by not replying (sthāpanīya-vyākaraṇa).
