Source: Brill: Śaivism and the Tantric Traditions (tantric Buddhism)Kīla (कील) refers to “ritual spikes” (of a building site), according to Kuladatta’s Kriyāsaṃgrahapañjikā, a text within Tantric Buddhism representing a construction manual for monasteries.—Accordingly, [in the nimittokti section in chapter 3], the Ācārya should divide the site into thirty-six compartments. He should drive ritual spikes (kīla) symbolising the thirty-two wrathful deities into the compartments, excluding the four central ones, and worship the spikes. Then he should visualise himself as Vajrahūṃkāra in order to remove obstacles from the site. Then the Ācārya should re-arrange the placement of the spikes (kīla) in a proper way. After that, the Ācārya should connect the pañcasūtras—the cords of Brahman, the root cords, the direction cords, and the side cords—to the spikes (kīla) driven to the ground.

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)
Source: De Gruyter: A Buddhist Ritual Manual on AgricultureKīla (कील) or Kīlaka refers to a “stake”, according to the Vajratuṇḍasamayakalparāja, an ancient Buddhist ritual manual on agriculture from the 5th-century (or earlier), containing various instructions for the Sangha to provide agriculture-related services to laypeople including rain-making, weather control and crop protection.—Accordingly, [as the Bhagavān teaches the offering manual of the root-heart] “[...] The stake should not be driven out. It should be said, ‘Foster the Tathāgata’s vows and precepts. Then I will drive out the stake (kīla-kīlaka)’. Then the Nāga falls at his feet with his retinue. He should be given [the following words]: ‘I shall keep in mind the Threefold Refuge and the Ten Righteous Actions’. [...]”.
