Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my question, Nitin Sir.

This is wonderful! Thank you soooo much. I read in a paper that in a khayal performance, the text of the bandish from bara khayal and that from chota khayal should be convergent in meaning and I wanted to verify if this was indeed the case in a performance that I am currently analyzing. I would like to know one more thing :) Are the compositions in khayal usually referred to as "bandish" or "ciz"?

Sure! Thank you Janak :)
