[XeTeX] Difficulty with hypenation in Sanskrit with Devanagari

[A u]

Neal,
I am working of Bellamkonda Ramarayakavi's Gita-Bhashya, if you do not mind
can you share the header file required to process your attached tex file.
I am using xetex and directly typing in Devanagari, instead of using roman
letters. I am new to tex so want to learn how to do the way you are doing.
I would really appreciate your help
Aku
