[Advaita-l] {भारतीयविद्वत्परिषत्} Re: who first coined the term "sad-asad-vilakshana"?

[Krishna Kashyap]

However, the term sad-asad-vilakshana is not mentioned
However, anirvachaniya word seems to match "something which is not sat and
is also not asat", which is essentially sad-asad-vilakshna right?

do I understand it right?
