Sanjeev -
The modes you quote are correct, in the sense that you give the
correct *modern-day* mode/thaat mappings. In ancient Greece, however,
the same mode names corresponded to a different set of modes. So, for
example, the ancient Greek Dorian became known, in the European Middle
Ages, as "Phrygian", and so on.

Ah yes, my bad - thanks for the clarification.
