What do mean by that you have newer version? Your fontspec is from
2016 and mine from 2017.

And yes the bug is known. I discussed it two weeks ago with Will.

OK, I have a newer version. Maybe the bug is known and was fixed just a few
days ago. I use to update TL from time to time (but not in a middle of an
important project).

The problem is that fontspec adds by default "Ligature=TeX". In
xelatex this is implemented through a mapping and so disables the
Mapping=velthuis-sanskrit.

This has been already discussed and hopefully Will will correct in
the near future. In the mean time you can disable the ligature
mapping:

\documentclass[a4paper,twoside,11pt]{book}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{sanskrit}

\defaultfontfeatures[\rmfamily,\sffamily]{} %<---

\setmainfont{%
  FreeSerif%
}%
[%
Mapping=velthuis-sanskrit,%
Script=Devanagari,
]

%
\begin{document}
  ekaadaya.h eka uttaro v.rddhirye.saa.m te ekottaraa.h
  ekaadaya"scaikottaraa"sca te tathaa eva.mvidhaa vyastaa.h
  apasavyakramasthaapitaa.h a"nkaa.h kramasthitai.h

\end{document}

You have declared a new font family, but as far as I can see, you make no 
subsequent use of that declaration, François.
Of course, I know nothing about either LaTeX or fontspec (or polyglossia, for 
that matter) but that is how it appears to me.
