The text below works, thanks for the help!
But there is one more problem.
I could not find an elegant method to set the language of the document
to English without
disabling Nagari. If one adds \setupbodyfont[minion] the Nagari parts
disappear.
The normal scenario would be a document in English with Sanskrit as a
secondary language, to
one switches with a command that changes font, language and activates
the transliteration
mechanism.
\starttransliteration[MyDeva] does not do this as soon as one sets the
roman font.
Thanks again!
PS: I can write a few notes for Sanskritists for the wiki, I also
wrote something
on critical editions in ConteXt, which could perhaps be useful for
others (in the
MyWay format).

\setuppapersize[A4]
\definefontfamily [nagari] [rm] [adishila] [features=devanagari-one]
\setupbodyfont[nagari]
\usetransliteration[indic]
\definetransliteration
[MyDeva]
[lang=sa,
vector={iast to deva}]
\starttext
\subject{Some notes on Printing Sanskrit with lmtx}
योग -- That is the word Yoga, input and, when you compile this document,
printed in (Deva)Nagari script.
1. In academic publishing we often type in the so-called IAST transliteration
and also print in it with diacritics (Nāgarī, Himālaya, Kṛṣṇa etc.).
For this we only need a font that has the required diacritics or (in some
cases) tell the font to do in anyway with
\definefontfeature[default][default][fakecombining=yes,compose=yes]
2. What is extremely practical is to have an input in transcription (yoga),
but pdf output as योग.
This is the task of the iast to deva option in the set of indic
transliterations
defined in the preamble.
These are two ways to use this method:
\starttransliteration[MyDeva]
yoga
\stoptransliteration
\transliteration[MyDeva]{yoga}
\stoptext
