The Ly version, eleventh to thirteenth century, is the softest and the most Buddhist of them. No scales, a body that tapers toward the tail, three claws closer to a hawk's than a lizard's, head raised, a pearl held at the mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the nostrils comes a burst of flame called the \u003cem\u003emao lua\u003c\/em\u003e, the fire crest.

A naga offers her most precious pearl to the Buddha, and the offering is what proves her enlightenment. A dragon holding a pearl is giving it away rather than guarding it, and that is where the word \u003cem\u003egrace\u003c\/em\u003e in this motif's name comes from.

It absorbs far less, so the oil stays in the hair rather than in the pillowcase, and the surface is smooth enough that hair travels across it instead of catching. Coils keep their definition.
