विवेचन
"खुड्डिय सव्वओभई पडिमं" में क्षुल्लक शब्द महद् की अपेक्षा से है । सर्वतोभद्र तप दो प्रकार का है-एक महद् दूसरा लघु । यह लघु है, इस बात को प्रकट करने के लिए क्षुल्लक शब्द का प्रयोग किया गया है । गणना करने पर जिसके अंक सम अर्थात् बराबर हों, विषम न हों, जिधर से गणना की जाए उधर से ही समान हों उसे सर्वतोभद्र कहते हैं । इसमें एक से लेकर पाँच तक के अंक दिये जाते हैं | चारों ओर से जिधर से चाहें गिन लें, सभी ओर से योग की १५ ही संख्या होती है । एक से पांच तक सभी ओर से गिनने पर एक जैसी संख्या रहने से इसे सर्वतोभद्र कहा जाता है । यह प्रस्तुत यंत्र से स्पष्ट होता है ।

Elucidation
Khuddiya Suvvaobhaddam Padimam-In this phrase word khuddiya (Sanskrta form ksullaka) is given. It is in comparison to great (mahad.). Really word Ksullaka means small or smaller than that, i.e.. mahad. Thus (Sarvatobhadra) penance is of two kinds-one great and another small. Here described penance is small, to make clear this the word Ksullaka (small) is given.
The figures counted from any side or all sides horizontal or vertical, the sum total of figures should be the same, that is called magic square. In this small fivefold (magic square) one to five figures are given. Counting all these numbers from any side the total we get is fifteen.
As clarified by figures the penancer practise penance in the same way e.g., one day fast, two days' fast upto five days' fast. So this penance has been termed as magic square or sarvatobhadra penance. This can be clearly understood by the square given here.
