The Gemara starts with Ula stating a din that holacha without walikng
is pasul. The Gemara then brings down the following statment from a
Mishna If blood fell from the Keli on the floor and it was gathered, it
is Kosher. The Gemara then asks on Ula from this Mishna, namely that the
blood must have moved towards the Mizbeach, e.g. holacha without walking
and it is kosher. The Gemara then answers with the implausible ukimtos
to explain the Mishna. In other words, it seems that the ukimtos are
there to explain the Mishna namely that the Mishna provides a principle
that blood that falls on the floor is kosher and the ukimtas are there
to remove any extraneous factors such as holacha without walking.
