מעשה באשה אחת וכו׳ מתניתין חסורי מחסרא והכי קתני, אם היה שכור ואמר הריני נזיר ממנו, אינו נזיר, שלא היה דעתו אלא לאסור אותו הכוס עליו בלבד, וכי היכי דלא לייתי ליה כוס אחרינא אמר הריני נזיר. ומעשה נמי באשה אחת שכורה וכו׳:

Mishnayos Nazir Perek 2 Mishnah 4
נזיר פרק ב׳ משנה ד׳
Bartenura
הרי זה נזיר – and he is prohibited with all of them, and in this, everyone admits because he made a condition against what is written in the Torah, and whomever makes a condition against [what] is written in the Torah, his condition is void.
אבל איני יודע שהנזיר אסור ביין הרי זה אסור – for wine and shaving and defilement which are prohibited to a Nazirite, he who takes a Nazirite vow from one of them is a Nazirite with regard to all of them.
רבי שמעון מתיר – as he holds that he is not a Nazirite until he takes a Nazirite vow regarding all of them.
או מפני שאני קובר מתים הרי זה מותר – these are vows of on conditions unavoidably unfulfilled (see also Tractate Nedarim, Chapter 3, Mishnah 1), and this is one of four vows that the Sages permitted.
ורבי שמעון אוסר – that he holds that the four vows that the Sages permitted requires absolution by a scholar, but the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon in these two segments of our Mishnah.
הרי זה נזיר ואסור בכולם. ובהא כ״ע מודו, מפני שהתנה על מה שכתוב בתורה וכל המתנה על מה שכתוב בתורה תנאו בטל:
אבל איני יודע שהנזיר אסור ביין הרי זה אסור. דיין ותגלחת וטומאה האסורים בנזיר, הנוזר מאחד מהן נזיר בכולן:
ורבי שמעון מתיר. דסבר אינו נזיר עד שיזור בכולן:
או מפני שאני קובר מתים הרי זה מותר. דהוי נדרי אונסים, והוא אחד מארבעה נדרים שהתירו חכמים:
ורבי שמעון אוסר. דסבר ארבעה נדרים שהתירו חכמים צריכים שאלה לחכם. ואין הלכה כר״ש בהני תרי בבי דמתניתין:

Who started the Mishnah Yomi program?
In 1934, the Kozoglover Gaon, Rav Aryeh Tzvi Frommer, who took over from Rav Meir Shapiro (the founder of Daf Yomi) as the head of Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin, initiated the Mishnah Yomi cycle, focusing on Seder Zeraim and Seder Taharos. After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

מעשה באשה אחת וכו' – Our Mishnah is deficient and should be read as follows: if he was drunk and said, “I am a Nazirite from it,” he is not a Nazirite, for it was not his intention other than to prohibit to himself that particular cup alone. And just as they did not bring him another cup, he said, “I am a Nazirite,” and there is an episode about one woman who said, “I am drunk, etc.”
