Salvation
രക്ഷ (protection/rescue/deliverance) has been the settled Malayalam Christian term for close to two millennia, since the Saint Thomas Christian tradition predates most later Sanskrit-influenced Hindu vocabulary layers now common elsewhere. NEVER മോക്ഷം or മുക്തി — the Hindu liberation-from-rebirth terms. Because രക്ഷ was never displaced by these later terms in Malayalam Christian usage, the risk here is lower than in most other languages in this pipeline; the real risk is an AI system drifting toward മോക്ഷം/മുക്തി precisely because they dominate the broader, non-Christian-authored Malayalam text corpus online.
