Namaskaram, I remember to have seen a YouTube video wherein Puri Shankaracharya states that as per advaitins only the Panchayatana devatas and their shastra authorised avatars can be considered as Ishvara.

>  If this is really a traditional stand then we have to exclude Subramanya / shaNmukha as he is not included in paNchAyatana pooja but considered in shaNmata 😊 And sUrya one of the paNchAyatana devata is follows some orders of some other higher Chaitanya as per taittireeya like agni, indra and vAyu ( bheeshAsmAvAtaH pavate, bhishOdeti sUryaH etc. ) so he must be having karma/puNya janita temporary shareera / post.  And devi's avataara like mAtru bhagini,sapta mAtruka vinAyaka ( bhUta gaNa in shiva parivAra) etc. also to be ignored though from the tip of the devi's nails  nArayANAdi dashaakruti emerging ( karAnguli nakhOtpanna narAyaNa dashAkrutiH).  Avatara is Ishwara and which is mentioned in shAstra is bit confusing further as shAstra says yadA yadAhi dharmasya glAnirbhavati I will be assures lord so his avatAra might be Ananta sahasra....how to reconcile as this and still to particular name and form of ONLY five devata!!??

Hari Hari Hari Bol!!!
bhaskar
