ʰṇa貹ī (प्राणपरीप्सा) refers to “saving someone’s life�, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.9 (“Boasting of Tāraka�).—Accordingly, as Tāraka-Asura said to the Gods: “[...] Doing such sinful acts frequently Viṣṇu and Śiva are already deficient in splendour and their prowess is spent out. [...] These two impudent fellows are presumptuous enough to place (ṛt) a child in front of me. Why? I will kill the child too. They too will have it. But let the child leave from here and save his life (ṇa貹ī)�.
