 == Comments on Jain Squares == 

 You ask on Meta:Babel about if their is some interest in the Jain magic squares. 

 I guess that there is some call for a curtural note on the use of these squares in Jain tradition, with some references and explaining a bit more about the cultural and cosmological significance. 

 A few Q's:  

 Whats the significance of 384 is it the number of different Jain squares? 

 Some of the examples show negative numbers and are hence not technically Most Perfect Magic Squares. 

 I didn't really understand the special properties of the squares,  
 ""fractional mirroring NW - SE"" etc. Are these ways to generate new squares? 

 I suggest that the info be removed from Meta:Babel, its not really appropriate there. Also see the editoral guidlines, for what should and should not be included.
