Abhanga 2027
This page holds only a closing mark, a reminder that the honest self-examination of the previous verse was meant to stand complete on its own.

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.

For someone today
This is an editorial-artifact. It documents the Gatha's cluster-numbering convention.
Where this applies
- When you're tempted to over-explain a hard truth you've already stated clearly.
- When you finish reading something honest and feel the urge to add more, even though nothing more is needed.
- When you realize a single honest insight, like the self-examination in the verse before this one, doesn't need extra words to be complete.
