It's from a story where the Buddha was protected from the rain by the serpent king. (Thai, cultural story.)

Which would be better to read about? Being sheltered by an umbrella, or being sheltered by a giant multi-headed serpent?

It is said that four weeks after ??kyamuni Buddha began meditating under the Bodhi tree, the heavens darkened for seven days, and a prodigious rain descended. However, the mighty king of serpents, Mucalinda, came from beneath the earth and protected with his hood the one who is the source of all protection. When the great storm had cleared, the serpent king assumed his human form, bowed before the Buddha, and returned in joy to his palace.


Oh yeah I forgot serpents have been seen as evil in some religions oops

The closest thing I could find to that was the great red dragon in Revelations 12:3, which has seven heads and ten horns. After that would be the beast that comes out of the sea in Revelations 13:1, which also has seven heads.

Albrecht Dürer, The Revelation of St John (Apocalypse) (1497-98) The Woman Clothed with the Sun and the Seven-headed Dragon.
