    This short commentary (from 2009) pretty much covers everything on the present topic, IMO.

    On the question of Ishvar, I feel He is the interface between brahma and brahmā, also the sole ruler of the world. Ishvar can also be seen as the "barest form of Lord Brahmā the Father".

    I think "saguna brahma" shouldn't be used because it neglects the whole spectrum of Lord Brahmā "worship".

    On the question of Ishvara though I admit lack of I depth study. But I suppose the word otherwise is often a reserve for a form of Lord Shiva, not that Vishnu or Brahmā cannot take on the term as an epithet.

    Things to remember:

    1. Life = yajña
    2. Depth of Āstika knowledge is directly proportional
    to the richness of Sanskrit it is written in
    3. Āstika = Bhārata ("east") / Ārya ("west")
    4. Varṇa = tripartite division of Vedic polity
    5. r = c. x²
    where,
    r = realisation
    constant c = intelligence
    variable x = bhakti
