http://www.behindthename.com/bb/fact/689916 (lila is pronounced like the first part of lilavati)

Stress is not a marked feature of classical Sanaskrit (and most major modern Indian languages), so both syllables would be equally stressed (or rather the stress would be guided by the sentence construction).
