That wouldn't be so sir. As there is no avidya without jagat. Without jagat
there is no avidya. Whereas the counter might not be true.

So parabrahman himself (itself) not free from avidyA and due to avidyA in

Sarvjnata and sarvashakthatva is admitted to isvara and not nirguna
brahman. Without jagat and avidya what is the cause of sarvjnata and
sarvashakthatva? If there is no world there is nothing to know(sarvjnata)
and nothing to have power over.

  So, before creation itself we are talking about parabrahman who has

Again there is no avidya without a world. Without any apparent duality
there is no avidya. So it appears both are simultaneous.

  In the context of br.bhAshya it is not there to prove brahmAshrita
