Abhanga 2245

This page is an editorial colophon, a single closing mark showing that the abhang just before it stands complete as its own self-contained unit.

When you come across a lone numeral in an old manuscript and wonder what purpose it serves.
When you want to mark that a piece of writing is finished without adding more to it.
When you're studying how old scribes organized and closed sections of a sacred text.

The verse

॥१॥

Literal translation

॥१॥ — editorial colophon closing 2244 as a self-contained unit.

Word-by-word gloss
Marathi Meaning
॥१॥ colophon — stand-alone editorial closure-marker after 2244

What it means

Editorial-colophon page following 2244. This entry preserves a colophon-only page in the transliteral.org source (sources/marathi/2245.txt) — a ॥१॥ numbering-marker placed on its own line.

The colophon-only-page pattern in this section: 2168, 2172, 2243, 2245, 2247 — the editor marks particularly-self-contained-units with stand-alone ॥१॥ closure-markers. Three of these (2243, 2245, 2247) appear in close-succession after the kavitvā-buḍavaṇē-and-bhāṇḍaṇāchē sequence, suggesting the Gatha's editor sees the period of-post-restoration as a-series-of self-contained-units rather-than continuous-clusters.

For someone today

This is an editorial page, not a verse. There is no life-lesson here, only the recognition that the Gatha's editorial conventions include such stand-alone closure marks for units that are complete in themselves.

मराठी: हे एक संपादकीय पान आहे, अभंग नाही. यातून कोणताही जीवनबोध मिळत नाही, फक्त एवढंच समजतं की गाथेच्या संपादकीय पद्धतीत, स्वतंत्र आणि पूर्ण भागांसाठी असे एकेरी समाप्ती-चिन्ह वापरलं जातं.
