Hi
I like to use code that I think is explicit, i.e., I can see what I was doing when I read my code in 6 months time.
A = {{a, b, c}, {d, e, f}, {g, h, i}, {j, k, l}}
A // Column
B = Table[{A[[n]][[1]], A[[n]][[2]]^2, A[[n]][[3]]^2}, {n, 1, 4}]
Map[ (s \[Function] {
\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(s\), \(\(\[LeftDoubleBracket]\)\(1\)\(\ \)\(\
\[RightDoubleBracket]\)\)]\),
\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(s\), \(\(\[LeftDoubleBracket]\)\(\ \)\(2\)\(\ \)\
\(\[RightDoubleBracket]\)\)]\)^2,
\!\(\*SubscriptBox[\(s\), \(\(\[LeftDoubleBracket]\)\(\ \)\(3\)\(\ \)\
\(\[RightDoubleBracket]\)\)]\)^2}), A ]

PS
Always a bad idea to use capitals for or as the first character of your variables; try C = 34.
