Compare with multiply perfect numbers A007691. Here Sum(divisors) is replaced by Sum(square of divisors).
Problem 11090 proves that this sequence is infinite. - T. D. Noe, Apr 18 2006
Cai, Chen, & Zhang prove that sigma_2(n)/n = b has only finitely many solutions for a given b, and hence (since this sequence is infinite) sigma_2(a(n))/a(n) is unbounded. - Charles R Greathouse IV, Jul 21 2016

EXAMPLE
k = 65 = a(4), sigma(2,65) = 4420 = 65*68 = 68*k;
k = 1820 = a(17), the divisor-square sum is 4641000 = 2550*1820 = 2550*k.
