A man will not have to bring either a bowl or the offspring of the ash vat [BOWL] with him to a meeting with the wealth-wounder [GENEROUS MAN]; the gods deceived Þjazi. Who would fight against the owner of the sanctuary [RULER], since the Rǫgnir <= Óðinn> of the fire of the fen [(lit. ‘fire-Rǫgnir of the fen’) GOLD > GENEROUS RULER] rejoices in the descendant of swords [SWORD]; Gramr <legendary sword> fought for neck-rings.
[5] valdi vés ‘the owner of the sanctuary [RULER]’: For a comparable kenning for ‘ruler’, see Þjóð Yt 11/3I vǫrðr véstalls ‘guardian of the altar of the sanctuary’. The present kenning is particularly appropriate in light of the role of the jarls of Lade as protectors of sanctuaries (cf. especially Eskál Vell 14I).
