Before \begin{document}, \lefhyphenmin (the minimal number of characters 
before a break, 2 by default for English) is 2, and 1 after 
\begin{document}, unless you comment the line 
"\setotherlanguage{sanskrit}". So something is wrong with polyglossia, 
from which I suppose the command comes from.

Best,
Paul
