mithyA fits into the former, not the latter. That which is sublatable.

  *   How can that which is already determined as mithya can also be anirvachaneeya (something which is neither sat nor asat !!) can a mithya vastu deserved to be called as Yes shankara explains mAyA as anirvachaneeya (tattvaanyatvaabhyAm anirvachaneeya) because it cannot be defined to be identical with Ishwara or brahman or quite distinct from brahman.  But mithya is that which is not existing, a Kalpita jneya due to vipareeta jnAna (adhyAsa) in the antaHkaraNa like sarpa on the rope, which is really non-existent..how can this mithya vastu can be an anirvachaneeya i.e. it is something neither true nor false?? Is it not just sublatable mithyA jnAna ??
Hari  Hari Hari Bol!!!
