As I understand it, it says that if you (the application) are asked to display the font Lohit Devanagari, you will need to use something from the sans-serif family. Declarations like this are quite common. Of course I could be wrong, but I recall seeing many such declarations over the years, mostly when the designer preferred some font that is simply not common on systems. A hint as to an alternative has to be provided, and it's usually done by naming the family, although it can also take the form of fontname1, fontname2, family name, which denotes the order of preference.
