Talmud for Nazir 6:8

רַבָּן שִׁמְעוֹן בֶּן גַּמְלִיאֵל אוֹמֵר, הֵבִיא שָׁלשׁ בְּהֵמוֹת וְלֹא פֵרֵשׁ, הָרְאוּיָה לְחַטָּאת תִּקְרַב חַטָּאת, לְעוֹלָה תִּקְרַב עוֹלָה, לִשְׁלָמִים תִּקְרַב שְׁלָמִים. הָיָה נוֹטֵל שְׂעַר רֹאשׁ נִזְרוֹ וּמְשַׁלֵּחַ תַּחַת הַדּוּד. וְאִם גִּלַּח בַּמְּדִינָה הָיָה מְשַׁלֵּחַ תַּחַת הַדּוּד. בַּמֶּה דְבָרִים אֲמוּרִים, בְּתִגְלַחַת הַטָּהֳרָה. אֲבָל בְּתִגְלַחַת הַטֻּמְאָה, לֹא הָיָה מְשַׁלֵּחַ תַּחַת הַדּוּד. רַבִּי מֵאִיר אוֹמֵר, הַכֹּל מְשַׁלְּחִין תַּחַת הַדּוּד, חוּץ מִן הַטָּמֵא שֶׁבַּמְּדִינָה בִּלְבָד:

R. Shimon b. Gamliel says: He would bring three beasts and not specify. That which was fit for a sin-offering was sacrificed as a sin-offering; for a burnt-offering, as a burnt-offering; for a peace-offering, as a peace-offering. [Even though all offerings must be specifically designated by the owners, here it was not necessary. For when he said: "These are for Naziritism," it is as if he had designated each one. For a female lamb is fit only for a sin-offering; a male-lamb, only for a burnt-offering; and a ram, only for a peace-offering.] He would take the hair of the head of his Naziritism and cast it under the cauldron [in which the peace-offering was being cooked.] And if he shaved in the province [i.e., Jerusalem (outside the Temple) (Even though it is written: "at the door of (pethach) the tent of meeting," this is not to be taken literally, but to be understood as: "at the time the tent of meeting is open (patuach)"], he would not cast it under the cauldron, [it being written (Numbers 6:18): "And he shall take the hair of the head of his Naziritism and he shall place it upon the fire" — one who is lacking only taking and placing — to exclude this one, who is lacking taking, bringing, and placing under the cauldron]. When does this apply? [that in the Temple he takes the hair and casts it under the cauldron]? With the shaving of cleanliness. But with the shaving of uncleanliness, he did not cast it under the cauldron. [Even if he shaved in the sanctuary, he did not take the hair and cast it under the cauldron of the guilt-offering and the bird sin-offering, for placing hair under the cauldron is stated only in respect to a clean Nazirite.] R. Meir says: All cast it under the cauldron, [a clean Nazirite in the Temple and in the province, and an unclean Nazirite in the Temple], except for an unclean (Nazirite) in the province alone [whose hair is buried]. And the halachah is that the only one who casts it under the cauldron is a clean Nazirite, who shaved at the door of the tent of meeting, according to the mitzvah]. And if he cast it under the cauldron of the sin-offering, he fulfills the requirement. ["He shall place it upon the first which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering" was stated only for the mitzvah (but the requirement can be satisfied otherwise)].
