Dandwat Pranam 

I have 3 Questions pls clarify this

Q 1) Why is Srimati Radha Rani not mentioned in Srimad Bhagavatam or Vishnu Purana or Harivamsa or Mahabharat 

Q 2 ) Wherever Smriti disagrees with the Purânas, know the Smritis more authoritative. This line/verse is written in Book 11 Chapter 1 of Devi Bhagavatam [According to an online source] If this is the case that Vedas and Smritis are more authoritative than Purana and Itihas  then in which category does Srimad Bhagavatam  or Bhagavad Gita come  and are they more authoritative than Smritis and Vedas

Q 3) सर्वस्यानित्यत्वे सावयवत्वेन सर्वतः सिद्धे । वैकुण्ठादिषु नित्यत्वमतिर्भ्रम एव मूढबुद्धीनाम् ॥

When it is established that everything made of parts is ephemeral, those of lowly intellect are deluded thinking that vaikuṇṭha, etc. are eternal.[ Verse from Sarva-Siddhanta-Sara-Sangrah]

एष देवो विष्णुरनन्तः प्रथमशरीरी त्रैलोक्यदेहोपाधिः सर्वेषां भूतानामन्तरात्मा । स हि सर्वभूतेषु द्रष्टा श्रोता मन्ता विज्ञाता सर्वकरणात्मा ॥

This god Vishnu or Ananta, is the first embodied existence with material form, one with the three worlds as his upādhi and is the self of all beings (pancha bhūta-s). He is the seer, hearer, etc. in all beings.[Mundaka Upanishad Bhashya]

विष्ण्वाद्युत्तमदेहेषु प्रविष्टो देवताभवत् । मर्त्याद्यधमदेहेषु स्थितो भजति मर्त्यताम् ॥ २ ॥

Entering the superior bodies like that of Vishnu, He became the deities; and remaining in the inferior bodies like that of men He experiences attributes of a human, like death.[Swami Vidyaranya in his Panchadashi says that Vishnu is the highest material body.]

The above verses say that neither Vaikuntha Loka nor Lord Vishnu are eternal. Pls clarify this and also is it true that there are 3 realities physical reality, unseen reality and absolute reality and only absolute reality whereas Vaikuntha comes under unseen reality so it is not absolute according to Sri Adi Shankaracharya
