I'm assuming this is using 'modern' Javanese orthography - how different would it be with the orthography for Sanskrit texts?

  I’m not entirely sure, but I don’t think it would be particularly different — if I understand correctly, the only major difference between the two orthographies is that Sanskrit texts use some extra letters.

    I believe there are special forms for some consonant clusters, which would be relatively common in Sanskrit texts.

      Are there? If so, I haven’t heard of them — I thought that consonant clusters were formed by regularly adding the conjunct form of the second consonant below the first consonant. (I do know that Devanāgarī and closely-related scripts represent clusters using irregular ligatures of consonants, but I don’t believe this method is used in Javanese.)
