Explanation

Asiddha is the unproven middle term whose presence in the subject is not established.

Badhita is the contradicted middle, where a stronger proof already refutes the intended conclusion.

Viruddha is the contrary middle that proves the very opposite of what is claimed.

Savyabhichara is the irregular or irrelevant middle that wanders to cases lacking the probandum.

Matching each name to its defect gives Asiddha with unproven, Badhita with contradicted, Viruddha with contrary, and Savyabhichara with irrelevant.
