You can change this via an option to polyglossia:
\setmainlanguage[numerals=western]{sanskrit}
or
\setmainlanguage[numerals=devanagari]{sanskrit}

None, they are copies. You will find the following line in polyglossia.sty:
\DeclareCommandCopy \setmainlanguage \setdefaultlanguage

use xelatex (or xetex) with the -recorder option. This (and also in other tex
engines) will produce a *.fls file that lists all included files. Compare the
*.fls files before and after you added a command/option.
best wishes,
