The smallest positive integer in full conformity with the provisions of the puzzle under reference is 3792 since:
3792^2 = 14379264, where:
(i) the number 3792 is contained within its square
(ii) the string '3792' appearing within the square is followed by '2', a nonzero number.

*** I will now essayer de trouver une solution analytique and will posit the same when my efforts in that direction reach fruition.
