But I've got no explanation for this one! Could you help me understand?

(Other definitions for lama that I've seen before include "A Buddhist priest in Tibet (4)" , "Dalai . . . ., chief priest and once ruler of Tibet" , "Holy man in Tibet" , "Religious leader" , "A Tibetan Buddhist priest or monk" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
