Note to ESk Geisl 23VII

[3] njótr auðar ‘enjoyer of wealth [MAN]’: Einarr extends the sense of njótr in this traditional formula to signify not so much the material gifts of a chief to his retainers as the divine mercies people receive from God by way of the saint. He uses kennings of this type throughout the poem to indicate the beneficiaries of Óláfr’s miracles.
