चतुष्के यत्र नामार्णस्तत्स्यात्सिद्धिचतुष्ककम् । प्रादक्षिण्यात्तद्द्वितीयं साध्याख्यं परिकीर्तितम् ॥ ५ ॥
catuṣke yatra nāmārṇastatsyātsiddhicatuṣkakam | prādakṣiṇyāttaddvitīyaṃ sādhyākhyaṃ parikīrtitam || 5 ||
જે ચતુષ્કમાં નામના અક્ષરો સ્થિત હોય તે ‘સિદ્ધિ-ચતુષ્ક’ કહેવાય; તેમને પ્રદક્ષિણ (દક્ષિણાવર્ત) ક્રમે લેતાં જે બીજું ચતુષ્ક બને તે ‘સાધ્ય’ તરીકે પરિકીર્તિત છે।

It defines a precise, rule-based way of arranging the Name’s syllables into a fourfold scheme, linking correct order (prādakṣiṇya) with specific spiritual outcomes (siddhis) and a distinct category called Sādhya.
By emphasizing the ‘Name’ (nāma) and its syllables as the core element, it supports nāma-centered practice—devotion expressed through disciplined mantra use rather than mere sentiment.
It highlights technical mantra-vidhi: phonemic/letter-based arrangement (linked to Śikṣā and Vyākaraṇa concerns) and the ritual principle of rightward/clockwise sequencing (prādakṣiṇya) used in nyāsa and related procedures.
