In Buddhism
Theravada (major branch of Buddhism)
The Buddha goes with Ananda on his begging round in Vesali and, after the meal, rests at the Capala Cetiya. 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.
Theravāda is a major branch of Buddhism having the the Pali canon (tipitaka) as their canonical literature, which includes the vinaya-pitaka (monastic rules), the sutta-pitaka (Buddhist sermons) and the abhidhamma-pitaka (philosophy and psychology).

(Auto-Translation): In the Seta Thut, the Lord Buddha, having come to the Sapa La Pagoda (Sapa La Sethi) from the Mahawun Taw in the Wethawali Kingdom, preached to Ashin Ananda, stating, "One who diligently practices the four bases of mindfulness can certainly achieve longevity, and even more so, can exist in a much greater state." Following this, in response to a request for his Parinirvana, he announced, "I will attain Parinirvana three months from this day," thereby proclaiming the release of the lifespan modification 'Ayuthinkhara' for longevity at the Sapa La Pagoda.
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
