Si una de las sangres (de las ofrendas) se rociaron para ella, él (su esposo) ya no puede anularla. [Porque después de que se rocía la sangre, se le permite beber vino y hacerse inmunda a los muertos y ya no está bajo ningún voto de aflicción.] R. Akiva dice: Incluso si una de todas las bestias fueran asesinadas por ella, no puede anularlo, [porque estaría causando una pérdida de propiedad consagrada]. ¿Cuándo es esto así? (que él no puede anular su voto)? Con su afeitado por limpieza; pero con su afeitado por impureza, él puede anularlo. [Porque ella debe regresar y contar el naziritismo de la limpieza], porque él puede decir: "No quiero una esposa 'estropeada'" [es decir, una que está afligida y obligada a beber vino.] Rebbi dice: Él puede anularlo incluso con su afeitado por limpieza, diciendo: "No quiero una esposa afeitada". [es decir, para que no se le obligue a "estropear" su apariencia afeitándose, afeitándose como "estropeando" a una mujer. Y la primera tanna sostiene que afeitarse no se estropea, ya que puede usar una peluca. La halajá no está de acuerdo con R. Akiva ni con el Rabino.]
Bartenura on Mishnah Nazir
נזרק עליה אחד מן הדמים אינו יכול להפר – for after the blood is tossed [for her], she is able to drink wine and become defiled to the dead, and there is no longer a vow of self-affliction.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
If one of the kinds of blood has been sprinkled on her behalf, [the husband] can no longer annul [the vow]. Rabbi Akiba says: even if one of the animals has been slaughtered on her behalf, he can no longer annul [the vow]. According to the first opinion, once the blood from one of the sacrifices which the woman set aside for the end of her naziriteship has been sprinkled on the altar, the husband can no longer annul her vow. In other words, whereas the previous mishnah stated that even though she had set aside her sacrifices, he could still annul the vow, our mishnah teaches that once their blood has been sprinkled, it is too late. Rabbi Akiva sets the limit on the husband’s right to annul his wife’s vow slightly earlier. Once the animal has been slaughtered, the husband may no longer annul the vow.

English Explanation of Mishnah Nazir
When is this true? If she is shaving [after observing the naziriteship] in purity, but if she is shaving after ritual defilement, he can [still] annul [the vow], because he can say, “I do not want a disgraced woman.” Rabbi says that he can annul [her vow] even if she is shaving [after observing the naziriteship] in purity, since he can say: “I do not want a woman who is shaved. This section limits that which was stated in the previous section. What was stated above was with regard to the sacrifices offered at the end of a naziriteship. However, if she was shaving and offering sacrifices after becoming impure, since she must go back and continue observing her naziriteship, he may still annul the vow. The reason that he has a right to annul this vow is that he may say that he does not want a woman who distorts her own beauty by becoming a nazirite, or in this case, by continuing to observe the nazirite restrictions. According to commentators, what makes her ugly is that she cannot drink wine or participate in many of life’s pleasures. Rabbi [Judah Hanasi] disagrees with the opinion in the beginning of section two, and also in section one. He holds that even after the sacrifices have been offered, the husband may continue to annul his wife’s vow because he may claim that he does not want her to shave her head. Only once she has shaven her head does he no longer have the right to annul the vow.
