There the Buddha sings the praises of Vesali and declares that, if he would, he could live for a whole kappa. Ananda does not act on the hint. When Ananda leaves him, Mara asks that the Buddha should die, as his disciples have been fully trained. The Buddha agrees, and declares that he will die in three months time. S.v.258ff; the incident is also given in D.ii.102ff and Ud.vi.1.
