Sometimes, the
arahat
Pindola, who is incorporated as the 17th or 18th member
of the
Eighteen Arahats,
is depicted
with a
kilen-like
creature on his side, i.e. an animal of Chinese
mythology, with the head of a
dragon
and a scaled body (fig.),
rather than in his more common
pose, i.e. seated on a
tiger
(fig.).
