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

[V Subrahmanian]

Cited in the foreword to 'Panchapadika Vivaranam with two commentaries' by
Polagam Rama Sastri: (Published by GOML, 1958, Madras):

He cites this verse, in turn cited by Nagesha Bhatta, as from the
Brihannaaradiya:

नासद्रूपा न सद्रूपा माया नैवोभयात्मिका । अनिर्वाच्या ततो ज्ञेया मिथ्याभूता
सनातनी ||

  nAsadrUpA na sadrUpa naivobhayAtmikA. anirvAchyA tato jneyA mithyAbhUtA
sanAtanI.

Maya is neither sat, nor asat, nor sat-asat. It is anirvAchyA and hence to
be known as mithya and anAdi.

This tallies with the Shankara bhashyam: BSB 2.1.14:

सर्वज्ञस्येश्वरस्यात्मभूते इवाविद्याकल्पिते नामरूपे तत्त्वान्यत्वाभ्याम
निर्वचनीये संसारप्रपञ्चबीजभूते सर्वज्ञस्येश्वरस्य मायाशक्तिः प्रकृतिरिति च
श्रुतिस्मृत्योरभिलप्येते ;

This verse is found in Sourapurana

only in the second half:

 सदसद्भ्यामन्यरूपा मिथ्याभूता सनातना
