Furthermore one can see on the shield-ring of fire, where the terror of giants [= Þórr] made a visit to the tree of the cave of the mound of Grjótún [= Grjótúnagarðar > GIANT = Hrungnir]. The son of Jǫrð <goddess> [= Þórr] drove to the iron-play [BATTLE], and the path of the moon [SKY/HEAVEN] resounded beneath him; the anger of the brother of Meili [= Þórr] swelled.
[7] blóða: so R(26r), Tˣ(26v), W(56), bróður R(23v), Tˣ(24v), W(51), blóði U, B
[7] blóða Meila ‘the brother of Meili [= Þórr]’: Blóði is a poetical word for ‘brother’, meaning someone who is a blood-relative. It is to be preferred here over some mss’ bróður, as the lectio difficilior and as providing aðalhending with móðr, although in an odd, not an even line. Meili is the name of another son of Óðinn; see Note to st. 4/2 fet-Meila.
