it is called finished.
The four-line stanza is the workhorse of Tibetan literature, and most of the canon and nearly all prayer is in it. Around it stand the longer stanzas of the learned style, the free stanzas of the songs, and the mixed form in which prose alternates with verse. The pages here will present each form with examples.
