Thank you for the suggestion. I added the following.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
At first, Emacs does not include fonts and does not install them. You
must do this yourself.

You must do "mkfontdir" in the directory
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/ before "xset fp+".
Once you've done that correctly, please check if the fonts
are surely avairable to Emacs by:
% xlsfonts -fn '*-cdac'

Where did you put your the *.ttf files? If the TrueType
font installation is successful, you should be able to see
font glyphs by this command:
% xfd -fn -altsys-DV_TTSurekh-medium-r-normal--20-0-0-0-p-0-devanagari-cdac
