2.6 That (the longer side of the cut-off rectangle in the above rule) which is placed across is the diagonal equal to the side of a square four times as large (as the given square). The area (of the squares) produced separately by the cut-off side and the other (the breadth of the rectangle) together equal the the area (of the square) produced by this diagonal. If the breadth produces one square *puruṣa*, the other side produces three square *puruṣas*. This has been stated.
