(vii) Kātyāyana (*Kśl*. 2.4 and 2.5) has considered a rectangle of breadth 1 *pada* and length 3 *padas*, whose diagonal is a 10 fold producer. According to Dattaa, this justifies the statement of the theorem of square on the diagonal, as may be seen from Fig. 10. In the square *ABCD*, DH = CG = CK = BF = AE = 1 pada.
