What was fixed:
The problem was that the default Helvetica font in ReportLab does not support Devanagari/Sanskrit Unicode characters - it was silently dropping them. I fixed it by:
  1. Registering the Droid Sans Devanagari font (a Unicode-capable font available on the system)
  2. Applying it to all Sanskrit/Devanagari text blocks
All 4 shlokas now render in the PDF in Devanagari script:
  • अहैर्व आत्मरात्मं अत्नेयपात्मयेत् रतस्कम् । (A.H.U. 1/38)
  • कुष्ठग्रासाने स्नेहसंकल्पश्च स्मरणोपचरे । (A.S. U. 1/41)
  • दियालनरामभुपकस्तुनाजलरतोपागे । / अपरतनना संयोग्या... (A.H.U. 1/38)
  • शालिर्नां पच्तिक्रवा वा... / सन्देहलवणा लेह्या... (K.S. Khi. 12/19-20)
