Mbh.13.1.113	Bhishma continued, Then Kala arrived at that scene of disputation on this point of morality, and spoke thus to the serpent and Mrityu and the fowler Arjunaka assembled together'
Mbh.13.1.114	Kala said, Neither Mrityu, nor this serpent, nor I, O fowler, am guilty of the death of any creature.

Mbh.14.13.373	But the man who having renounced the world, has taken to the life of the recluse in the forest, living on wild roots and edibles, if such a man, O son of Pritha, has a craving for the good things of the world, and is addicted to them, he may be said to bear Mrityu death in his mouth.
Mbh.14.51.2220	Of two syllables is Mrityu death; of three syllable is the eternal Brahman.
