שאינה מקודשת. שלא נתחנכה לעבודת מזבח. דאי הוי מייתי במקודשת אפסילו להו בלינה שכלי שרת מקדשים כדכתיב (שמות ל׳) כל הנוגע בהם יקדש, וכל הקדוש קדושת הגוף נפסל בלינה:
היה ממלא מן הכיור. ואע״פ שהכיור הוקדש לכלי שרת ומקדש את מימיו, לא היו נפסלים בלינה, לפי שהיו משקיעים אותו מבערב בבור כדאמר ביומא [פ״ג] אף הוא עשה מוכני לכיור שלא יהיו מימיו נפסלים בלינה:
שהמים והיין המגולין. היינו טעמא דנתגלה ממלא מן הכיור ולא היה מנסך [מהן], שהמים [והיין] המגולין פסולים לגבי המזבח:

Mishnayos Sukkah Perek 5 Mishnah 1
סוכה פרק ה׳ משנה א׳
Bartenura
החליל – many kinds of musical instruments were there, and by the name of the flute, as its sound is heard more than the others, all of them are called by its name.
חמשה וששה – sometimes five [days] and sometimes six [days]. If the first day of the Festival [of Sukkot] occurs on Shabbat, the flute [is sounded] for six [days]; if it (i.e., the first day of the Festival of Sukkot) falls on the other days of the week, the flute [is sounded for] five days, because it does not supersede neither the Sabbath nor the Holy Days [of the Festival].
שמחת בית השואבה – because all of this rejoicing is on the drawing of waters of libation, they called it the Rejoicing of the House of Drawing on account of (Isaiah 12:5): “Joyfully shall you draw water [from the fountains of triumph].”
החליל. הרבה מיני זמר היו שם, ועל שם שחליל קולו נשמע יותר מן האחרים נקראו כולם על שמו:
חמשה וששה. פעמים חמשה פעמים ששה. חל יו״ט ראשון להיות בשבת, החליל ששה. חל בשאר ימי החול החליל חמשה. לפי שאינו דוחה לא את השבת ולא את יום טוב:
שמחת בית השואבה. לפי שכל שמחה זו על שאיבת המים של ניסוך, קרו לה שמחת בית השואבה, על שם ושאבתם מים בששון (ישעיהו י״ב:ג׳):

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.

שאינה מקודשת – if it was not prepared for the Divine service on the Altar. For if he brought it while sanctified, he would invalidate it through leaving it overnight, for all Divine service utensils are sanctified, as it is written (Exodus 30:29): “whatever touches them shall be consecrated,” and all that is holy, the sanctity of the body is invalidated by remaining overnight.
היה ממלא מן הכיור – and even though the jug was sanctified as vessels dedicated to the Temple service and which sanctifies its waters, they are not invalidated by remaining overnight, because they would let it down from the evening into a pit, as it states in [Tractate] Yoma (Chapter 3, Mishnah 10): “And he too made a mechanism for the laver so that its water should not be invalidated by being kept overnight.”
שהמים והיין המגולין – that is the reason that if it was revealed, he would fill from the laver and would not offer a libation [from them] for the water [and the wine] that are revealed are invalid for the altar.
