Where do you want to use this phrasing? Why do you want to use it? Where did you get it from? Did you write it yourself? If so, how could we tell you what it’s supposed to mean? And what does your title have to do with your question? This question is very unclear – please edit it to explain what it is you’re trying to ask.

I'm flagging this question for closure as "unclear". Joseph, you may not be aware that our other site English Language Learners is the best place to look for answers on English questions that a fluent speaker would find trivial. If you have a question for ELL, be sure to read their guidance on what you can ask. :-)

It is obvious what "pure water" means, less obvious that "pure earth" means earth that has not been previously used for this purpose.

Earth is one of the fundamental elements in Eastern religions. You're asking what "earth" means as a religious concept. This is off topic for EL&U.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is asking for an explanation of a religious concept.
