Here the Lord shows the face of Time-as-Death. It is telling that Krishna is likened to "Death itself [Kala]": the Lord is Time, which devours the worlds. Thus it is revealed that Krishna is both the giver and the taker of life, master over death. So does scripture show the Lord's fearsome countenance; and the tireless disc is an image of His unrelenting will.
