Reference for Nedarim 60:3

<big><strong>מתני׳</strong></big> הנודר מרואי החמה אסור אף בסומין שלא נתכוון זה אלא למי שהחמה רואה אותן

<b><i>GEMARA</i></b>. What is the reason? — Since he did not say 'from those who see,' he meant to exclude only fish and embryos.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' [I.e.. he might have intended the phrase 'those who see the sun' as an euphemism for 'those whom the sun sees', i.e., the blind (cf. Bek. VIII, 3, [H], 'looking to the sun' used euphemistically for 'squinting'). But since with vows we adopt the more rigorous interpretation, he is forbidden to benefit from those who see as well as from the blind (cf. Rabinowitz, M. Graber Otzar ha-Safruth II, 137ff.).] ');"><sup>1</sup></span>
