Bhūmiṣṭha (भूमिष्ठ) refers to “terrestrial water”, as (probably) mentioned in verse 5.4-5 of the Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā (Sūtrasthāna) by Vāgbhaṭa.—Accordingly, “[...] Indric water placed in a beautiful cup (and remaining) unspoiled one may always drink. In case of its absence, however, (it is water springing) in a clean, vast, and black- or white(-soiled) region (and) hit by sun and wind that (is) most similar [viz., bhūyiṣṭha=bhūmiṣṭha] to atmospheric (water)”.

Note: Bhūyiṣṭha [bhūyiṣṭham] (“most”) has been replaced by thaṅ-la gnas, lit. (“to be found in the steppe”), which proves beyond doubt that the basic text had bhūmiṣṭha [bhūmiṣṭham] (“terrestrial”) instead (thus also Candranandana, Hemādri, and Indu).

Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
