In Hinduism

Purana and Itihasa (epic history)

Source: archive.org: Puranic Encyclopedia

Khila (खिल).—There is an appendix to Mahābhārata called Khila. This Khila is known as Harivaṃśa also. This portion too was written by Vyāsa.

Source: archive.org: Shiva Purana - English Translation

Khila (खिल) refers to “everything”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.51 (“The resuscitation of Kāma”).—Accordingly, as the Gods said to Kāma: “O Kāma, you are blessed. Burnt by Śiva you have been blessed by Him. The lord of all (khila-īśvara) has resuscitated you by means of his sympathetic glance, the Sāttvika part. No man causes happiness or sorrow to another man. Man experiences the fruits of what he does. Who can ward off the destined protection, marriage or consummation at the proper time? [...]”.

Khila (खिल) or “supplement” refers to the Upapurāṇas, according to the Saurapurāṇa.—Accordingly, the Upapurāṇas can be considered as the supplements of the Mahāpurāṇas as those are mostly based on the Mahāpurāṇas. The Saurapurāṇa considers the Upapurāṇas as khilas i.e., supplements and states as—“upapurāṇānāṃ khilatvāllakṣaṇaṃ smṛtam”. In support of it R. C. Hazra states that the purāṇas are called Upapurāṇas as they are supposed to have been declared by the sages after hearing the Mahāpurāṇas from Vyāsa or some trustworthy authorities.
