CHATURANGA

Raja (king) (also spelled Rajah): Moves one step in any direction (vertical, horizontal or diagonal), the same as the king in chess. There is no castling in chaturanga.

Mantri (minister or counsellor) also known as Senapati (general): Moves one step diagonally in any direction, like the fers in shatranj.

Ratha (chariot) (also known as Śakata): Moves the same as a rook in chess- whereby the rook moves horizontally or vertically, through any number of unoccupied squares.

Gaja (elephant) (also known as Hastin): Three different moves are described in ancient literature:
Two squares in any diagonal direction, jumping over the first square, as the alfil in Iranian shatranj, Ethiopian senterej, Mongolian Tamerlane chess and medieval courier chess.

Ashva (horse) (also spelled Ashwa or Asva): moves the same as a knight in chess.

Padàti or Bhata (foot-soldier or infantry) (also spelled Pedati); also known as Sainik (warrior): moves and captures the same as a pawn in chess, but without a double-step option on the first move.

Stalemate was a win for a stalemated player.
The player that is first to bare the opponent’s king (i.e. capture all enemy pieces except the king) wins. In shatranj this is also a win, but only if the opponent cannot bare the player’s king on his next turn.
