Thank you Venkat ji for your response.

If we do not give ignorance provisional existence, we would be open to

In sattA-traividhya-vAda, I fully agree with you that provisional existence
is granted to ignorance/world.

But, in eka-sattA-vAda, do we give provisional existence to
ignorance/world? Eka-sattA-vAda is not from the standpoint of Brahman. It
is still from the ignorance standpoint. So, the onus of explanation of
ignorance/world/veil remains on the advaitI. However, he does not give any
sort of existence to ignorance/world. We do the vyapadesha of
prAtibhAsikatva/vyAvahArikatva without admitting prAtibhAsika/vyAvahArika
sattA because we accept san-mAtra-grAhI-pratyaksha. We do not accept any
sort of sattva to vyAvAvahArika/prAtibhAsika vastu, rather mere
sat-tAdAtmya is accepted.  I think it is a very important point which must
be appreciated.

Is that not so?

May I request you to kindly see page no 7 of the PDF where necessary
citation from Shat BhUshanI is mentioned (from page 63 and 90 of Volume 1)

Please share your views if I have made any errors in my understanding.
