IIRC Kala mistranslated/misapplied as death, instead of time. Apte's dictionary has kAla and one of the meanings as "God of death" as well, but it is the context that matters, as husky pointed out. Read the entire 11th chapter, and in this context, it is kalyati ganayati ithi kAlah, and the dissolution/destruction ( and in the war, with arjuna being a mere operative)
