13.14

He then arose in three samādhis: First, as when entering nirvāṇa, the three mountains cover his body as a child enters its mother's womb, remaining undamaged. Second, if King Ajātaśatru comes, having prearranged to see him, the mountain should open when he comes; if Ajātaśatru does not see me, he will vomit hot blood and die. Third, when Ānanda comes, the mountain opens; and when Maitreya comes here with ninety-six thousand million disciples, he will take Kāśyapa's body to show his assembly, causing them all to emulate my merits of upholding the precepts (Extracted from the Aśokāvadāna, Fascicle 7).
