Hi,

CalifJimI can barely pronounce 'basmati'.

Oh, you like to exaggerate, don't you?

Yes, but aside from that, the immigrants from India around here seem sometimes to stress the first syllable while others insist the correct pronunciation is with the stress on the final syllable (bahz-mah-TEE). Americans usually stress the middle syllable. Go figure.

How can it be 'basmati' if it is written 'padati'?
And it is written in an american chess book so, Not in a sunskrit chess book.Also, I don't know where to go.

Huh? I have only heard this word referring to Rice. Not Chess.

'****' in Chaturanga was called 'pedati'.The exact context:
'The original Sanskrit name of **** was pedati.'

It's not. I'm just saying that the syllable structure, including the vowels, is similar, and the two words come from the same language family, so there's a good chance that the stress pattern is the same for both words.
