Shloka 44
मृत्युश्वैव प्राणिनामन्तकाले साक्षात् कृष्ण: शाश्वतो धर्मवाह: | भूतं च यच्चेह न विद्या किंचिद् विष्वक्सेनात् सर्वमेतत् प्रतीहि
mṛtyuś caiva prāṇinām antakāle sākṣāt kṛṣṇaḥ śāśvato dharmavāhaḥ | bhūtaṃ ca yac ceha na vidyā kiṃcid viṣvaksenāt sarvam etat pratīhi ||
毗湿摩说道：众生临终之际，死亡本身即是克里希那亲现于前；祂是永恒的持法者、护持达摩者。凡已发生者，及此处尚未知、未被领会者，当确知一切皆唯从毗湿伐克塞那（克里希那）而出。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that the ultimate power encountered at death is not separate from the Supreme—Kṛṣṇa himself. As the eternal sustainer of dharma, he governs both what is already known (the past) and what remains unknown, implying that all events and knowledge arise under divine sovereignty.
Bhīṣma, instructing on dharma in the Anuśāsana Parva, identifies Kṛṣṇa with Death at the end-time of beings and affirms Kṛṣṇa (as Viṣvaksena) as the source from whom all manifested and unmanifested/unknown matters proceed.
