Kalā has other meanings too: see all meanings of Kalā.

Hlada is a daitya of the Brahma Purāṇa, the son of Hlāda and grandson of Hiraṇyakaśipu. Lomaharshaṇa names him in the line of Diti: “Hlāda’s son is Hlada. Hlada’s two sons are Śiva and Kāla.” His son Śiva is a daitya, not Bhagavān Śiva, and his son Kāla is not the Kāla born in the line of Dhruva. The Purāṇa says no more of him.
