Source: Shodhganga: Drumavichitrikarnam—Plant mutagenesis in ancient IndiaŚuddhabhūmi (शुद्धभूमि) refers to “rich soil” (suitable for sowing seeds), which is used by certain bio-organical recipes for plant mutagenesis, according to the Viśvavallabha-Vṛkṣāyurveda by Cakrapāṇi-Miśra (1580 CE): an encyclopedic work dealing with the principles of ancient Indian agriculture and horticulture.—Accordingly, “The dried seed of a ripened fruit of the Nymphaea alba or Nymphaea nouchali should be rubbed with dry cow-dung and soaked in urine of buffalo for seven days. It should then be sown in rich soil (śuddhabhūmi). By doing so, the Nerium indicum so produced will create wonder in the world.”.
