COMMENTS
For n > 0, a(n) is the unique solution to x^2 == 3 (mod 13^n) in the range [0, 13^n - 1] and congruent to 9 modulo 13.
A322085 is the approximation (congruent to 4 mod 13) of another square root of 3 over the 13-adic field.

FORMULA
For n > 0, a(n) = 13^n - A322085(n).
a(n) = Sum_{i=0..n-1} A322088(i)*13^i.
a(n) = A286840(n)*A322090(n) mod 13^n = A286841(n)*A322089(n) mod 13^n.
EXAMPLE
9^2 = 81 = 6*13 + 3.
61^2 = 3721 = 22*13^2 + 3.
1075^2 = 1155625 = 526*13^3 + 3.
MAPLE
S:= map(t -> op([1, 3], t), [padic:-evalp(RootOf(x^2-3, x), 13, 30)]):
S9:= op(select(t -> t[1]=9, S)):
