c8.t29.16

**3.1-.34.** The rule 3.1 deals with the construction of a square equal to the difference of two squares, 3.2-3.3 the transformation of a rectangle into a square and 3.4 transformation of a square into a rectangle. These rules have been given by Baudhāyana (*Bśl.* 2.2, 2.5 and 3.4 respectively). The transformation of a rectangle into a square, when it is very large, is specially discussed by Kātyāyana, as has also been done under *Bśl* 2.5.
