Quoting%20commentary for Zevachim 72:6

איתיביה רב הונא לרבי אבא ליתן את הניתנין למעלה למטה למטה למעלה לאלתר כשר חזר וחישב חוץ למקומו פסול ואין בו כרת חוץ לזמנו פיגול וחייבין עליו כרת

Said Raba: This is the proof, viz. : [a] piggul [intention made] before the sprinkling is nothing, yet the sprinkling comes and brands it as piggul.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Raba proves that the intention to leave the blood until the morrow is not the same as the intention to eat the flesh without bounds, which makes piggul impossible. For if, before sprinkling, the priest declares his intention of sprinkling the blood on the morrow, it does not render the sacrifice piggul, it being axiomatic that a sacrifice is not rendered piggul unless the mattirin (q.v.Glos.) have been properly offered. Nevertheless, if he subsequently sprinkles the blood properly, his previously declared intention is retrospectively valid and renders the sacrifice valid. Now, this intention was in effect an intention to leave the blood until the morrow, which in R. Judah's view disqualifies the sacrifice (though not rendering it piggul) . This proves that we do not say, Since it did not become piggul at the outset it is disqualified through the intention of leaving the blood, and it cannot subsequently become piggul.');">⁵</span>
