The Buddha goes with Ananda on his begging round in Vesáli and, after the meal, rests at the Cápála Cetiya. There the Buddha sings the praises of Vesáli and declares that, if he would, he could live for a whole kappa. Ananda does not act on the hint. When Ananda leaves him, Mára 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.
