Hm, I tried this:

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{dev}

\begin{document}


{\dn kAra.n}

\end{document}


No error msg from devnag and the devanagari looks good.


The system is Fedora 20, devnag is from TL 2013.

devnag doesn't seem to react to -V or so. 

manfred at hogwart /usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-linux % ldd devnag 
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffd0735000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x000000345fa00000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000000345f600000)
manfred at hogwart /usr/local/texlive/2013/bin/x86_64-linux % ls -l devnag 
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30704 May  2  2013 devnag
