72.20

Furthermore, the Shanxian lü says: The Buddha said: Dragons have five circumstances in which they cannot shed the dragon body. What are the five? First, at the time of copulation: if they copulate with a dragon, they can revert to a dragon body; if they copulate with a human, they cannot shed the dragon body. Second, when taking birth, they do not shed the dragon body. Third, at the time of shedding their skin. Fourth, when asleep. Fifth, at the time of death. These are the five circumstances in which they cannot shed the dragon body.
