Although this scene had been depicted earlier in South and Southeast Asian art, it was the Khmer who popularized it. The reasons that Jayavarman chose to stress the Muchilinda Buddha remain speculative. Snakes were associated with healing, and perhaps because Jayavarman may have been lame, he emphasized healing, as indicated by his construction of hospitals throughout the kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
