Reg  // Does it mean prakruti (avidyA) always exists in Ishwara!!?? //,
Indeed Yes.
But this will take us back to familiar ground which we have covered several times without reaching any agreement. I on my side would like to avoid a repetition. Maybe others may like to continue.

  *   There is no qualms from my side either if we say prakruti like Ishwara eternal (nitya).  But when someone say prakruti and avidyA synonyms and both can be used interchangeably, that makes Ishwara as permanent avidyAvanta 😊 because of the fact that there is no difference between shakti and shakta.  Two fold prakruti is my mAya asserts Lord in geeta and further clarifies with these two I am sarvajna and I am the cause of the jagat!!  The power (mAyAshakti) is brahman that is ME, this power and its possessor are not different says Lord.  If the lord possessing avidyA then there is no difference between avidyA and brahman and he would become avidyAvAn brahman like mAyin (parameshwara) as he is having the mAyA / prakruti as his power.
Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
