Purana and Itihasa (epic history)
Khyāti (ख्याति).—One of the seven major rivers situated in Krauñcadvīpa, according to the Varāhapurāṇa chapter 88. It is also known by the name Kṣiprodā. Krauñcadvīpa is one of the seven islands (dvīpa), ruled over by Jyotiṣmān, one of the ten sons of Priyavrata, who is the son of Svāyambhuva Manu, who was created by Brahmā, who was in turn created by Nārāyaṇa, the unknowable all-pervasive primordial being.
The Varāhapurāṇa is categorised as a Mahāpurāṇa, and was originally composed of 24,000 metrical verses, possibly originating from before the 10th century. It is composed of two parts and Sūta is the main narrator.
1) Khyāti (ख्याति).—A daughter of Prajāpati Dakṣa. The hermit Bhṛgu married her. A daughter named Lakṣmī and two sons named Dhātā and Vidhātā were born to Bhṛgu by Khyāti. (Agni Purāṇa, Chapter 20).
2) Khyāti (ख्याति).—Daughter of Kuru, who was born of the family of Dhruva. Six sons, Aṅga, Sumanas, Svāti, Kratu, Aṅgiras, and Śibi were born to Kuru by his wife Āgneyī. (Viṣṇu Purāṇa, Aṃśa I, Chapter 13). Khyāti was a daughter born to them.
1) Khyāti (ख्याति) is one of the twenty-four daughters of Dakṣa by Prasūti: one of the three daughters of Svāyambhuvamanu and Śatarūpā, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.1.16:—“Dakṣa begot twenty-four daughters. The eleven younger daughters were [Khyāti,...]. The great aspirants [Bhṛgu] and others took the hands of these famous daughters (e.g., Bhṛgu married Khyāti). Thereupon the entire universe consisting of three worlds, mobile and immobile was filled (with progeny). Thus according to their own actions and at the bidding of Śiva innumerable famous Brahmins were born out of the various living beings”.
2) Khyāti (ख्याति) refers to “fame” (i.e., one who is famous), according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.3.8.—Accordingly, Nārada said to Himavat:—“[..] By propitating Śiva with her penance she will acquire the lustre of gold and will be known as Svarṇagaun. Your daughter will be as fair-complexioned as lightning. This girl will be famous [i.e., khyāti] in the name of Gaurī, She will deserve the respect of Viṣṇu, Brahmā and the other Gods. O excellent mountain, you shall not give her to anyone else. This is a secret of the gods. This shall not be revealed to any one else”.

Khyāti (ख्याति) refers to one of the daughters of Dakṣa and Prasūti: one of the two daughters of Manu-svāyaṃbhuva and Śatarūpā, according to the Vaṃśa (‘genealogical description’) of the 10th century Saurapurāṇa: one of the various Upapurāṇas depicting Śaivism.—Accordingly, Ākūti was married to Ruci and Prasūti to Dakṣa. Dakṣa produced in Prasūti twenty-four daughters. [...] [Khyāti was given to Bhṛgu.]. [...] From Bhṛgu through Khyāti, Lakṣmī (the beloved of Nārāyaṇa), Dhātā and Vidhātā were born. Dhātā and Vidhātā became the Sons-in-law of Meru marrying Āyati and Niyati respectively.
The Purana (पुराण, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
Shaktism (Shakta philosophy)
Khyāti (ख्याति) refers to one of the “thousand names of Kumārī”, as mentioned in the Kumārīsahasranāma, which is included in the 10th chapter of the first part (prathamabhāga) of the Rudrayāmala-Uttaratantra: an ancient Tantric work primarily dealing with the practice of Kuṇḍalinī-yoga, the worship of Kumārī and discussions regarding the Cakras. This edition is said to be derived of the Rudrayāmalatantra and consists of 6000 verses in 90 chapters (paṭalas) together with the Saralā-Hindīvyākhyopetam (i.e., the Rudrayamalam Uttaratantram with Sarala Hindi translation).—Khyāti is mentioned in śloka 1.10.28.—The chapter notes that one is granted the rewards obtained by reciting the text even without the performance of pūjā (worship), japa, snāna (bathing) and puraścaryā.
Shakta (शाक्त, śākta) or Shaktism (śāktism) represents a tradition of Hinduism where the Goddess (Devi) is revered and worshipped. Shakta literature includes a range of scriptures, including various Agamas and Tantras, although its roots may be traced back to the Vedas.

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
