ÚlfrU Húsdr 3III/2 — vinar ‘friend’

Innmáni skein ennis
ǫndótts vinar banda;
ôss skaut œgigeislum
orðsæll á men storðar.

Innmáni ennis ǫndótts vinar banda skein; orðsæll ôss skaut œgigeislum á men storðar.

The interior-moon of the forehead [EYE] of the hostile friend of the gods [= Þórr] shone; the praise-blessed god shot terror-beams at the necklace of the earth [= Miðgarðsormr].

notes

[2] vinar banda ‘friend of the gods [= Þórr]’: Bǫnd are undifferentiated deities who appear especially in connection with controlling and protecting land. They seem to be associated with Þórr in particular (cf. Eskál Vell 8/2I, 14/1-4I; see Marold 1992, 705-7).
