En Æsir urðu illa við hvarf Iðunnar, ok gerðusk þeir brátt hárir ok gamlir. Þá áttu þeir Æsir þing, ok spyrr hverr annan, hvat síðarst vissi til Iðunnar, en þat var sét síðarst, at hon gekk ór Ásgarði með Loka. Þá var Loki tekinn ok fœrðr á þingit, ok var honum heitit bana eða píslum. En er hann varð hræddr, þá kvazk hann mundu sœkja eptir Iðunni í Jǫtunheima, ef Freyja vill ljá honum valshams, er hon á.
