Namaste Venkat ji.

I am in agreement with what you said. Except I have a small but important
point to make in the context of the following:

//If ignorance was not "something existent", why is the self-effulgent
Brahman not known by all? //

I think the requirement is fulfilled by ignorance being non-abhAva. We
cannot claim that ignorance must be "something existent".

It is a very important point. That ignorance is a cover-or proves only this
much - it is not abhAva.

One cannot claim that it has to be "something existent".

Actually the words bhAva, abhAva, sat, asat etc have no equivalent words in
English because these Sanskrit words in VedAnta have definite connotation
which is not the case with English ones. So, even if one does not intend,
it is liable to be misunderstood.
