* Consider expanding the article to cover more than just transliteration. In other words, the title of this article might be "Roman Samskrta" (note the absence of the uci in the title in accordance with [[SV:SC]]). In that case, you could also include a table on pronunciation, as is also found on the Roman Saḿskrta page in the various books by P R Sarkar / Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. | * Consider expanding the article to cover more than just transliteration.
