What do you mean by "certain svarUpa"? Having infinite rUpas are His
svarUpa besides infinite other qualities. Do not forget the very definition
as given by shruti for the term 'Brahm' (wide its own question atha kasmAt
ucchatEy brahmEti? ) as brihintO asmin hi guNAh

Are you saying you cannot add 1 more to infinity?. Please argue with any
mathematician.

This is flawed logic. Even if you think you cannot add one more form to
Lord's infinite forms (which is wrong anyways), why would that makes
Brahman as formless? He still can be infinite form minus 1
