Prāṇasandeha (प्राणसन्देह) refers to “(acts involving) a risk of life”, according to the Śyainika-śāstra: a Sanskrit treatise dealing with the divisions and benefits of Hunting and Hawking, written by Rājā Rudradeva (or Candradeva) in possibly the 13th century.—Accordingly, “[...] It has been said that there are eighteen addictions. These are the outcome of the desire for earthly enjovments. [...] Rashness includes any deed in which there is a risk of life (prāṇasandeha-kṛt) [prāṇasandehakṛt kāryaṃ kṛtaṃ]. In dangers and difficulties it leads to glory, but on other occasions, it is ridiculous. [...]”.
