Fontspec mapping tex-text AND devanagarinumerals

Question

I am unable to figure out the correct way to tell fontspec to adhere to both Mapping=tex-text and Mapping=devanagarinumerals. Here's an MWE:

% !TeX program = XeLateX
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Script=Devanagari,Mapping={devanagarinumerals,tex-text},AutoFakeBold=2.0]{Siddhanta}
\setmainfont[Script=Devanagari,Mapping={tex-text},AutoFakeBold=2.0]{Siddhanta}
\setmainfont[Script=Devanagari,Mapping={devanagarinumerals},AutoFakeBold=2.0]{Siddhanta}
\begin{document}
\begin{enumerate}
    \item क---ख
\end{enumerate}
\end{document}

The desired output is:
१. क—ख

and not

क—ख (Mapping={tex-text})

or
१. क---ख (Mapping={devanagarinumerals})

I presume this is super simple, but nothing I have tried works, including Mapping={devanagarinumerals,tex-text} or adding \defaultfontfeatures{mapping=tex-text}. Any help/insights would be highly appreciated!

Thank you!

It is not super simple. Xetex can use only one mapping, that means you must create a new mapping which combines both. — Ulrike Fischer, Dec 26 '23 at 08:43
@UlrikeFischer Would it be easier to make - active and just create the em and en dashes programmatically? Which approach would you recommend? — yannisl, Dec 26 '23 at 09:45
@YiannisLazarides I would use lualatex, see e.g. https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/548203/2388 — Ulrike Fischer, Dec 26 '23 at 10:40
