Commentary for Chagigah 51:15

לא הא דקתני יניחנה ר' יהודה והא דקתני לא יניחנה רבנן ותסברא הא רבי יהודה יגמור קאמר אלא הא דקתני לא יניחנה רבי יהודה והא דקתני יניחנה רבנן ומאי לא יניחנה שאין צריך להניחה:

No. This that teaches, 'He may leave it', is [the opinion of the] Rabbi Yehudah, and this that teaches, 'He may not leave it', is [the opinion of] the Sages. But is this logical? Didn't Rabbi Yehudah say, "He may finish [without waiting for the next festival]?" Rather, This [statement] that is taught, "He may not leave it [for the next festival," [is of] Rabbi Yehudah, and this [statement] that is taught, "He may leave it [for the next festival," [is of] the Sages. And what is [the meaning of] 'he may not leave it'? That there is no need to leave it [as he can finish it this festival].
