+
+## Investigation Notes
+
+The repository was found by searching GitHub for `Sarpanch devanagari font`, which returned `itfoundry/sarpanch` as the top result, with description "Sarpanch, a Devanagari + Latin family for Google Fonts." The repository structure used a custom Python build system (`build.py`) with UFO sources as masters. Both UFO and legacy VFB files were present, but the UFO sources are the canonical format. The repository also contained a `davelab6/sarpanch` fork.
+
+## Result
+
+A source block was added to METADATA.pb referencing the repository URL, the latest commit hash, and the primary UFO master source.
