Abhanga 2022

This is an editorial-artifact. It documents the Gatha's cluster-numbering convention: single-abhang sub-clusters get colophon-only pages too.

When tracking the Gatha's editorial-cluster-numbering — colophon-॥१॥-marks-1-abhang-cluster-at-2021

The verse

॥१॥

Literal translation

English: ॥1॥ — colophon-only page.

Word-by-word gloss
Marathi Meaning
॥१॥ "colophon-1 — confirms 1-abhang sub-cluster (2021 alone — all-attainments-fall-short + mokṣa-stays-behind)"

What it means

Colophon-only page abhang. EDITORIAL ARTIFACT.

This source-page contains only the colophon ॥१॥, marking abhang 2021 as a 1-abhang sub-cluster.

Why 2021 warrants stand-alone status: it is a self-contained-and-complete statement of-Tukārām's-position: all-supernatural-attainments (gold-from-stones, kalpa-trees, amṛta-ocean, stop-Kaḷa, omniscience, siddhis, yoga-powers) fall-short of-Viṭhōbā's-feet; even mokṣa stays-behind. The Gatha's editor isolated-this masterpiece into-its-own-cluster.

This matches the pattern at 1993-1994: a powerful summative-abhang gets its-own ॥१॥ colophon-page.
