Khailapāṭaka (खैलपाटक) is the name of a village mentioned in the Bilhari Chedi inscription.—Accordingly, “[...] there arose a man from whom proceeded the clan of the Chalukyas and in that powerful family was born Avanivarman who had as his father Sadhanvan and grandfather Siṃhavarman. The illustrious Nohalā was born of Avanivarman and she became the beloved of the Kalachuri prince Kēyūravarṣa, i.e., Yuvarājadēva I. Queen Nohalā is stated to have endowed a temple of Śiva with the villages of Vīḍā, Poṇḍī, Khailapāṭaka and others”.

Note: Poṇḍī and Khailapāṭaka, two of the gift-villages, are represented by the modern Pondi and Khailwara which are to the north-west and north-east of Bilhārī respectively. Vīḍā must be another village in the same locality.
