 This eventually worked in the favor of the household however, when a group of thieves attempted to rob Anathapindika while he was away on a business trip.When the vigilant Kalakanni noticed the thieves, he started making loud noises, convincing the thieves that the household was full and causing them to leave.When Anathapindika grew ill later in life he was visited by Sariputta and Ananda, two of the Buddha's principal disciples.
