I understand you to be saying that - When we say shakti and shaktimat are non-separate (in this context of gita 14.27) we are referring to NB and mAyA.

>  Yes, if we see the bhAshya it is clearly saying so.  So, now since the bhAshya is saying :  the power of god by means of which brahman promotes well being etc. SAME brahman I am, and power and possessor of that power is one and the same, this is the observation (ityabhiprAyaH).  What does it mean??  Brahman and his power (mAya or according to you prabhuji-s avidyA) are one and the same, so brahman is avidyA and avidyA is brahman, is this the siddhAnta that we have to understand from mAyA/shakti and avidyA abhinna vAdins??  

And it’s valid to say,  NB mAyayA pratiShThate/  pravartate (Although in several other contexts like mama mAyA duratyayA, the reference is - Ishvara and mAyA are shaktimat and shakti and non-separate.) 

>  Again this statement too would show us how ridiculous it is to invariably equate mAya and avidyA 😊

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
