Bhaskar ji,

What I had meant is: If Brahman has to be saguna, all those guna-s can be
applied to it 'only' in relation to, sApekSha, the jagat and jiva. Without
the apeksha of jiva-jagat not a single guna can be attributed to Brahman.
That is my point. I have not implied that 'Brahman is dependent on
jiva-jagat.'

subbu
