The following Dhammapada verse (in Pali and English) is associated with her story: In the "Gotami Sutta" (SN 5.3), Bhikkhuni Kisa Gotami declares: I've gotten past the killing of [my] sons, have made that the end to [my search for] men. I don't grieve, I don't weep.... It's everywhere destroyed — delight. The mass of darkness is shattered. Having defeated the army of death, free of fermentations I dwell. The story is the source of the popular aphorism: "The living are few, but the dead are many".
