Musar for Pesachim 47:8
אי מה כאן בשריפה אף כל איסורין שבתורה בשריפה אמר קרא הנותר הנותר בשריפה ואין כל איסורין שבתורה בשריפה
If so, just as here [it must be destroyed] by burning, so all the forbidden things of the Torah [must b destroyed] by burning? -Scripture saith, 'then thou shalt burn the [nothar] remainder: nothar requires burning, but all [other] forbidden things of the Torah do not require burning. Yet does this [verse] 'it shall not be eaten' come for this [teaching]? Surely it is required for R'Eleazar [dictum]! For R'Eleazar said: 'it shall not be eaten, because it is holy': whatever of holy [flesh.
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
[The author continues for several columns to discuss the pros and cons of how to interpret that particular discussion in the Talmud. The conclusion he comes to is that Maimonides can certainly claim to base his ruling not only on the Sifri but also on Rava in the section of the Talmud quoted. Ed].
