You can use OpenType fonts with XeTeX. For Devanagari Sanskrit2003 is  
richer than Devanagari MT. You'll find it on this page:

http://www.omkarananda-ashram.org/Sanskrit/itranslator2003.htm

There are also Nakula and Sahadeva here:

You might want to try them like this:

%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\setmainfont[Script=Devanagari]{Nakula} % or Sahadeva or Sanskrit2003
\begin{document}
सङ्ख्ये
\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%

Best wishes,
