words"Chame".Rudram is divided into 11 sections called Anuvakas.

Meaning of the above Manthra ( Following meaning may be exact, but inner meaning can be different. Scholars are capable of providing the real meaning of it ) :
Let me be granted the numbers one, three, five, seven, Nine, eleven, thirteen,
fifteen, seventeen, Nineteen, twenty one, twenty three, twenty five, twenty
seven, twenty Nine, thirty one, and thirty three, and numbers four, eight,

Even Numbers are 4,8,12,16,20,24,28,32,36,40,44,and 48. Each number explains the number of cumulative triangles in each square.
If we observe the above diagram, Middle of the square points are connected and another square is formed. The area of the new square (32 Triangles) is exactly half of the area of the square of the original square (64 Triangles). This can be continued and the shape is formed as follows:
This is the construction methodology that is followed as the roof of the Garbhalayam above the main deity inside every Hindu Temple.
Pythogorean theorem
Consider the hypotenuse of any triangle, area of the square of it is equal to area of the square of the two sides. As explained in http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/BGH/pythag.html.
