%N a(n) is the second number in a triple consisting of 3 numbers, which when squared are part of a right diagonal of a magic square of squares.

%C The multiplying factor 6 appears to come from the ratio of a(1)/a(0) of the sequence. Each of the lines of tables (V vs VII) or (VI vs VIII) in oddwheel.com/ImaginaryB.html generates this factor.
