What it is
The last of the fifteen, and the plainest thing in the sport: the clinch knee, named after killing the mount of a god.
The long version
Erawan is Airavata, the three-headed white elephant Indra rides, and the animal on the flag of Laos and on a hundred temple gables. The technique named after breaking its neck is the first thing a beginner is shown in the clinch.
Number ten on the same list, hak nguang aiyara, breaks the same elephant's trunk under its Pali name — the arm trapped and the elbow driven into the thigh.
