The verse

॥१॥

Literal translation

English: ॥1॥ — colophon-only page.

Word-by-word gloss
Marathi Meaning
॥१॥ "colophon-1 — confirms 1-abhang sub-cluster (2026 alone — don't-judge-others-I'm-worst)"

What it means

Colophon-only page abhang. EDITORIAL ARTIFACT.

This source-page contains only the colophon ॥१॥, marking abhang 2026 as a 1-abhang sub-cluster.

Why 2026 warrants stand-alone status: it is a self-contained statement of-Tukārām's radical-self-deprecation as the foundation of bhakti — don't-judge-others, see-yourself-as-most-vile, connect-with-Paṇḍhari-nātha as-your-only-capital. The Gatha's editor isolated this self-criticism-and-surrender as a complete-cluster.

This is the third colophon-only-page documented in this corpus (after 1994 and 2022) — confirming the editor's-pattern of-stand-alone-numbering for-particularly-self-contained-abhangs.
