The task is writing slokas and mantras in any script, with diacritics where necessary, so that it can be recited correctly. No need to learn new scripts. Devanagari should be the standard, else IAST (roman) or Tamil with suitable diacritics.
Even in your quotation:->
nehābhikrama-nāśo 'sti
pratyavāyo na vidyate
sv-alpam apy asya dharmasya
trāyate mahato bhayāt
There are 5 places where long 'a' (ā in IAST)will be pronounced short and 's' ( ś in IAST) will be pronounced wrongly.
tbs avargale, prākṛtam was a language (not a script) written also in Devanagari script.
