The noble son of the daughter of Brynhildr [= Kráka/Áslaug > = Sigurðr ormr-í-auga] seems to men to have a glittering brow-stone [EYE] and a most steadfast heart. This descendant of Buðli [= Sigurðr ormr-í-auga], a precocious profferer of the wound-flame [SWORD > WARRIOR], who hates a red ring, surpasses all men in strength.
