I'm not certain that it's Sanskrit.

  1. Not Sanskrit.  Probably Nepali, inasmuch as it doesn't work in Hindi.  Could be Marathi, I guess.  It reads something like:

    hecaa.m duhakhaa.m  gr[?]aghatta.m.

    The middle ligature could be a miswriting of du.hkha, the Skt word for suffering.  But you can never have a k and an h together in sanskrit.  Its not even possible to write in transliteration--the above actually would give you a different letter because there is a k and a kh.  

    Also, the first ligature could also be something like hyeaam, and there are no possible double vowels in Sanskrit.  

    This looks like its probably something that someone mistyped.
