नमस्ते सुब्बु जी.

There is no doubt that AchArya has used the terms Ishwara and Parameshwara
as synonyms of NirguNa Brahman. However, this only shows that AchArya has
taken the lakshya-artha of these words. The vAchya-artha of these words
remains saguNa Brahman. Isn't it? Or is it the claim that even the
vAchya-artha of Ishwara/Parameshwara is NirguNa Brahman?
