העליון מן התחתון. כגון שהיה העליון מים שאובים ותחתון מים כשרים:
והרחוק מן הקרוב. ולא חיישינן שמא בא אדם והפסיק השקתו ולא עלתה לו טבילה:
מביא סילון של חרס או של אבר. והוא הדין של עץ או של עצם או של זכוכית. אבר, עופרת:
ומניח ידו תחתיו. של הסילון כדי שלא יצאו מים לחוץ כשהוא מתמלא עד שעה שישיק ויתחברו עם המקוה האחר:
אפילו כשערה. דהקלו בשאובה שהיא דרבנן. אבל אם היה העליון חסר מכשיעור ובא להכשירו על ידי השקה להשלימו לכשיעור, אין די בהשקה כשערה, דאפילו רבי יהודה דמיקל טפי בפרק ב׳ דגיטין [דף ט״ו], בעי טופח על מנת להטפיח:
ממלא בכתף. דמאחר שיש במקוה ארבעים סאה מים כשרים, אפילו כל מים שאובין שבעולם אין פוסלין אותו:

Bartenura
לשתי – from above to below.
לערב – from right to left.
חלוף הדברים – from above to below, it doesn’t combine, from right to left, it does combine. But the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Yehuda.
נפרצו זה בתוך זה – that is from above at the top of the wall. And specifically when the wall is split/chipped off or perforated but above at its top it is whole, is where we require like the mouth-piece of the leather bottle, but when the wall is broken through at its top and the waters combine there, it is sufficient like the thickness of a garlic peel or like the width of the mouth-piece of a leather bottle.
לשתי. מלמעלה למטה:
לערב. מימין לשמאל:
חלוף הדברים. מלמעלה למטה, אין מצטרף. מימין לשמאל, מצטרף. ואין הלכה כרבי יהודה:
נפרצו זה בתוך זה. היינו מלמעלה בראש הכותל. דדוקא כשנסדק הכותל או ניקב ולמעלה בראשו שלם, הוא דבעינן כשפופרת הנוד, אבל כשנפרץ הכותל בראשו והמים מתחברים שם, סגי ברום כקליפת השום וברוחב כשפופרת הנוד:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ

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.

העליון מן התחתון – as for example, that the upper [Mikveh] had drawn water and the bottom [Mikveh] had kosher/fit water.
והרחוק מן הקרוב – but we ae not concerned lest a person come and he stopped/interrupted the contact between liquids [so that the water of the ritual bath comes in contact with the impure water], and has immersion did not have any effect for him.
מביא סילון של חרס או של אבר (brings a pipe of earthenware or lead) – and the same law applies of wood or of bone or of glass. אבר – lead.
ומניח ידו תחתיו – of the pipe in order that the water does not go outside when he fills it until the time when the waters come in contact and combine with the other [pure] Mikveh.
אפילו כשערה – and they (i.e., the Rabbis) were lenient regarding drawn water which is Rabbinical. But if the upper [Mikveh] was lacking from its measure and he comes to make it fit through contact with the waters [of the lower Mikveh] to complete it to its appropriate measure, it is not enough with contact as much as a hair’s breadth, for even Rabbi Yehuda who is more lenient in the second chapter of [Tractate] Gittin [16a] as he requires moist enough to moisten other objects.
ממלא בכתף – that since after there are forty Seah of fit/kosher water in the Mikveh, even all of the drawn water in the world does not invalidate it.
