Commentary for Pesachim 161:2

מ"ט לאו משום דמרצה ציץ אמרי לא משום דקסבר ר' יוסי מכאן ולהבא היא מטמאה

Is it not because the headplate propitiates?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' For when the blood was sprinkled she was doubtfully unclean, since she might discharge again on that day. Thus she is assumed to be unclean with the 'uncleanness of the deep,' and is exempt from observing the second Passover because the headplate propitiates and makes her sacrifice valid, though she cannot partake of it.');">²</span> - I will tell you: It is not so, [the reason being] because R'Jose holds: She is defiled from now and henceforth.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If she discharges on one day, waits part of the following and performs tebillah, she is clean, and if she subsequently discharges on the same day she becomes unclean anew, but does not continue her previous uncleanness. Hence when the sacrifice was slaughtered she was actually clean, having already performed tebillah, so that no propitiation is required.');">³</span>
