Namaste Sudhanshu Ji,

Re
"But, in eka-sattA-vAda, do we give provisional existence to
ignorance/world? "

In my opinion - The existence of ignorance in ekasattAvAda should be
sat-tAdAtmya only. avidyA is sva-para-nirvAhikA and anAdi, so there is no
AtmAshraya doSha with that.

Regards
Venkatraghavan
