Shloka 33
Puṣkara Invocation, the Dharma-Wheel at Naimiṣa, and the Padma Purāṇa Prologue
तमेवेंद्रं बार्हस्पत्ये तत्र सूतो व्यजायत । शिष्यहस्तेन यत्पृक्तमभिभूतं गुरोर्हविः
tameveṃdraṃ bārhaspatye tatra sūto vyajāyata | śiṣyahastena yatpṛktamabhibhūtaṃ gurorhaviḥ
Di sana, dalam upacara yang berkaitan dengan Bṛhaspati itu, Sūta lahir daripada Indra sendiri—kerana persembahan suci (havi) milik sang guru telah teratasi, setelah dicampur oleh tangan seorang murid.

FAQs
It describes an origin episode: during a rite connected with Bṛhaspati, a mistake or improper mixing of the guru’s oblation by a disciple leads to the birth/appearance of a Sūta associated with Indra.
By stating that the guru’s oblation was ‘overpowered’ due to a disciple’s mixing, it underscores that sacred acts require proper authority and precision, and that errors around the guru’s share can have significant consequences.
The implied lesson is restraint and responsibility in discipleship: one should not interfere with what belongs to the teacher (especially in sacred contexts), and actions done without due competence can produce unintended outcomes.
