The gold-harmer [GENEROUS RULER] throws embers of the arm [GOLD]; the king gives red wealth; the destroyer of evildoers [JUST RULER] flings the load of Grani <legendary horse> [GOLD].
[4] farmi Grana ‘the load of Grani <legendary horse> [GOLD]’: The gold-kenning is derived from the story of the dragon Fáfnir’s treasure being carried by Sigurðr’s horse Grani (see Fáfn end prose, NK 188 and cf. Notes to Anon Bjark 4/6, SnSt Ht 41/4). On Grani, see Note to Anon Kálfv 4/8 (see also Þul Hesta 1/8).
