פרתו יוצאה ברצועה שבין קרניה. לנוי. ואמרו חכמים משאוי הוא ואינו תכשיט לה. ולא פרתו של ר״א בן עזריה היתה אלא של שכנתו, ועל שלא מיחה בה נקראת על שמו:
ומקרדין ביו״ט. כמין מגירה קטנה של ברזל ששיניה דקות ומחככין ומגרדין בה הבהמה, ואע״ג דעביד חבורה:
ברחים שלהן. קטנות העשויות לכך:
מקרצפין. במגרה של עץ ששיניה גסות. ואין עושין חבורה:
אף לא מקרצפין. דגזרינן קרצוף אטו קירוד. ואין הלכה כראב״ע בשלשה דברים הללו, אלא במקרדין את הבהמה בלבד, משום דבהא קם ליה בשטתיה דרבי שמעון דאמר דבר שאין מתכוין מותר, וקיי״ל כוותיה. וחכמים דפליגי עליה סברי כרבי יהודה דאמר דבר שאין מתכוין אסור, ואינה הלכה:

ביצה פרק ב׳ משנה ט׳
Bartenura
משום שלשה כלים – for if he separated one of them they are not shards of utensils but rather all of them are considered a utensil of its own and is impure, even while they are still attached in the millstone and appear as one utensil.
משום כלי קבול – the bottom one that receives dust from the pounding of the peppers through the holes of the basket used as a sieve is ritually impure because it is a receptacle, for it is a wooden utensil that has a receptacle.
ומשם כלי מתכות – the upper one where we pound and grind in it the peppers, is ritually impure because it is a metal utensil, and because a wooden utensil cannot be made impure, for its flat surfaces are ritually pure, but because its lower covering is made of metal.
ומשום כלי כברה – its middle which surround the basket used as a sieve. Because of the wood utensil it is not defiled and its receptacle is not a receptacle, but the Sages decreed defilement upon the basket used as a sieve because it is a woven utensil, and even if the metal basket used as a sieve does not defile because it is the utensil of the basket used as a sieve.
משום שלשה כלים. שאם פירש אחד מהן אינן שברי כלים אלא כל אחד מהם חשוב כלי בפני עצמו וטמא, אע״פ שבעודן ברחיים הן מחוברים ונראים ככלי אחד:
משום כלי קבול. התחתונה שמקבלת אבק שחיקת הפלפלים דרך נקבי הכברה, טמאה משום כלי קבול, שכלי עץ שיש לו בית קבול הוא:
ומשום כלי מתכות. העליונה שכותשין וטוחנין בה הפלפלין, טמאה משום כלי מתכת. דמשום כלי עץ ליכא לטמוייה, דפשוטיהן טהורין, אלא משום ציפויה התחתון שהוא של מתכת:
ומשום כלי כברה. אמצעית שהיא מקפת את הכברה. משום כלי עץ לא מטמאה דאין קבולה קבול, אלא חכמים גזרו טומאה על הכברה משום כלי ארוג. ואפילו אין הכברה של מתכת מטמאה משום כלי כברה:
Mishnah Yomi FAQ
What is Mishnah Yomi?

What is the Mishnah?

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.

פרתו יוצאה ברצועה שבין קרניה – for beauty/adornment. And the Sages stated that it is a burden and is not a decoration for it. And it was not the cow of Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah but that of his neighbor, and since they did not protest, it was called as associated with him.
ומקרדין ביו"ט – like a small bronze saw whose teeth are thin and which rubs and scratches the animal, and even though it makes a wound.
ברחים שלהן – small which are made for this.
מקרצפין – with a wooden saw whose teeth are thick. But they don’t make a wound.
אף לא מקרצפין – for we decree that currying with a strigil leads to scratching (which causes a wound). But the Halakah is not according to Rabbi Eleazar ben Azariah in these three matters, but rather, we scrape/curry the animal only, because in this we confirm the approach of Rabbi Shimon who said that a thing in which we don’t have an intention is permitted, and we hold according to him. But the Sages dispute this as they hold like Rabbi Yehuda who stated that a thing which was not intended is prohibited, but this is not the Halakha.
