There is a confusion between Yama and Shiva when it comes to addressing them as 'Mahakaal' or 'Kaal'.
Actually, Paridhi, our mythology and epics have several conflicting origin stories and accounts.
For e.g. according to original sources, Krishna had left Vrindavan at the age of 11; but then, in latter sources, he was said to have romanced Radha in teenage in Vraindavan.
Then take the case of Kali. Brahmavaivarta Purana says that Kali and Krishna were created of the same seed; while in Devi Mahatyam, she is described as originating from Vishnu's body while he slept.
Apart from the multiple layers of meaning and interpretation, even the most straightforward citations of facts and lineage come into conflict with each other in various mythological sources.
