  1. Sarana” in Pali and Sinhala means “refuge”.
  2. Buddham saranam gaccami” means “I take refuge in Buddha”

    Saraniya could mean “in accordance with taking refuge in X”, where X depends on where the word is used.

  3. The Pali dictionary that I like has both words “sarana” and “saraniya“:
    Concise Pali-English Dictionary

It says “saraniya” is “fit to be remembered”.

Either one could be right depending on the context.
