Varabhūmi (वरभूमि) refers to “rich soil” (suitable for sowing a seed), according to the Vṛkṣāyurveda by Sūrapāla (1000 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the study of trees and the principles of ancient Indian agriculture.—Accordingly, “A seed of Nymphaea caerulea should be made moist with the mixture of urine and dried dung of a she-buffalo for seven days and after sowing it in rich soil (varabhūmi) should be nourished with coconut water (gale water?). It then grows into a Nerium indicum”.
