SUPPLEMENT DATED JANUARY 8, 1998 TO PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 1, 1997                

PRUCO LIFE FLEXIBLE PREMIUM VARIABLE ANNUITY ACCOUNT VARIABLE ANNUITY CONTRACTS 

DISCOVERY SELECT/SM/ VARIABLE ANNUITY                                           

The Death Benefit provision on page 13 of your prospectus is replaced in total  
by the following Death Benefit provision.                                       

DEATH BENEFIT                                                                   

If the sole or last surviving Annuitant dies prior to the annuity date, Pruco   
Life will, upon receipt of all of the information necessary to make the payment 
(including due proof of death and election of a payment option), pay a death    
benefit to the beneficiary designated by the Contract Owner.                    

IF THE SOLE OR OLDER ANNUITANT IS UNDER AGE 80 WHEN THE DEATH BENEFIT           
ENDORSEMENT IS ISSUED ("ENDORSEMENT DATE")                                      

 .  The Death Benefit on or prior to the Contract Anniversary coinciding with or
next following his or her 80th birthday is equal to the greater of:     

(1) the Contract Fund value as of the date of due proof of death; and   
(2) the Guaranteed Minimum Death Benefit ("GMDB") as of the date of due 
proof of death.                                                 

.   The GMDB is calculated daily and is equal to the greater of:              

(1) the 5% annual increase ("Roll-Up"); and                             
(2) the highest annual Contract Fund value ("Step-Up").                 

ROLL-UP                                                                         

The Roll-Up is equal to the total invested purchase payments (initial and       
additional) and is increased daily to the date of death at an effective annual  
interest rate of 5%, until the cap maximum is reached.  (The cap is equal to the
sum of two times each invested purchase payment and is proportionally reduced by
the effect of withdrawals.) Once the cap is reached, the Roll-Up can only be    
increased by the amount of additional invested purchase payments and will be    
proportionally reduced by the effect of withdrawals.                            

DSA-C1                                                                          
Cat# 42M713L

STEP-UP                                                                         

Prior the  first Contract Anniversary, the Step-Up is the initial invested      
purchase payment increased by additional invested purchase payments and         
proportionally reduced by the effect of withdrawals.  The Step-Up for each      
subsequent Contract Anniversary will be reset to the greater of the Contract    
Fund value as of that Contract Anniversary and the prior Step-Up.  Between      
Contract Anniversaries, the Step-Up will be increased by invested purchase      
payments and proportionally reduced by the effect of withdrawals.               

After the Contract Anniversary coinciding with or following the Annuitant's 80th
birthday, the Death Benefit will equal the greater of:                          

(1) the Contract Fund value as of the date of due proof of death; and           
(2) the GMDB as of the Contract Anniversary coinciding with or next following   
    his or her 80th birthday, increased by additional invested purchase payments
   and proportionally reduced by the effect of withdrawals since such Contract
Anniversary.                                                            

IF THE SOLE OR OLDER ANNUITANT IS UNDER AGE 80 OR OVER ON THE ENDORSEMENT DATE, 
THE DEATH BENEFIT IS EQUAL TO THE GREATER OF:                                   

(1) the Contract Fund value as of the date of due proof of death; and           
(2) total invested purchase payments (initial and additional) proportionally    
reduced by the effect of withdrawals.                                   

For purposes of determining the Death Benefit, "proportionally reduced by the   
effect of withdrawals" means that withdrawals (including any applicable charges)
will reduce other values in the same proportion as they reduce the Contract     
Fund value.                                                                     

IF THE CONTRACT WAS ISSUED PRIOR TO THE ENDORSEMENT DATE:                       

(1) the initial value of the Roll-Up and the Step-Up is the total invested      
purchase payments (initial and additional) less total withdrawals       
 (including any applicable charges) as of the issuance of the Endorsement;
       ---------
(2) the initial value of the cap will be two times the initial value of the     
Roll-Up; and                                                            
(3) the words, "Prior to the first Contract Anniversary", as used in the        
 description of the Step-Up, means prior to the first Contract Anniversary
following the issuance of the Endorsement.                              

Upon the issuance of the Endorsement, you may not change an Annuitant or        
Co-Annuitant and may add or remove an Annuitant or Co-Annuitant only with our   
prior approval

THE DEATH BENEFIT DESCRIBED IN THIS SUPPLEMENT WILL NOT APPLY TO:               

(1) Contracts issued prior to the availability of the Endorsement WHOSE OWNERS  
DO NOT ELECT TO ATTACH THE ENDORSEMENT TO THEIR CONTRACTS; and          
(2) Contracts issued in states in which the Endorsement has not been approved.  

In either case, the Contracts will continue to have the Death Benefit calculated
as originally described on page 13 of the prospectus.                           

The Death Benefit described in this Supplement may not be available in your     
state.                                                                          

The Death Benefit is payable on the death of the sole or last surviving         
Annuitant, not the Contract Owner.  For a discussion of the required            
distribution rules, SEE TAXES PAYABLE BY CONTRACT OWNERS, page 16.              

The beneficiary may receive this amount in a lump sum or under a payout option. 
Unless the beneficiary has been irrevocably designated, you may change the      
beneficiary at any time. If the Annuitant dies after he or she has begun to     
receive annuity payments, the Death Benefit, if any, will be determined by the  
type(s) of payout provisions then in effect.                                    

If the annuitant was the sole owner of the Contract, the Annuitant's spouse was 
the sole beneficiary, and the spouse has an unrestricted right to receive the   
death benefit in a lump sum, then the spouse has the right to continue the      
Contract as Annuitant and owner.                                                

PROSPECTUS PROFILE                                                              

Please note that upon the issuance of this Endorsement, section 9 of the Profile
is no longer applicable to your Death Benefit.
