Here's why:
* Sanskrit has no unique script. It can be written in various scripts like Devanagari (most common), Sharada, Grantha, etc.
* Writing systems are tools for expressing language. Just like you use the English alphabet to write English, you use a specific script to write Sanskrit.
So, to write Sanskrit, you would choose a script like Devanagari and then use its letters to write the words and sentences.
For example:
* Sanskrit: नमस्ते (namaste)
* Devanagari script: नमस्ते
This demonstrates how the Devanagari script is used to represent the Sanskrit word "namaste."
