  1. ‘Now Loki was captured without quarter and taken to a certain
  2. cave. Then they took three stone slabs and set them on edge and
  3. knocked a hole in each slab. Then Loki’s sons Vali and Nari or
  4. Narfi were fetched. The Æsir turned Vali into the form of a wolf
  5. and he tore his brother Narfi to pieces. Then the Æsir took his
  6. guts and bound Loki with them across the three stones - one
  7. under his shoulders, one under his loins, the third under the backs
  8. of his knees — and these bonds turned to iron. Then Skadi got a
  9. poisonous snake and fixed it up over him so that the poison would
  10. drip from the snake into his face. But his wife Sigyn stands next to
  11. him holding a basin under the drops of poison. And when the
  12. basin is full she goes and pours away the poison, but in the
  13. meantime the poison drips into his face. Then he jerks away so hard
  14. that the whole earth shakes. That is what you call an earthquake.
  15. There he will lie in bonds until Ragnarok.’
  16.  
  17. Then spoke Gangleri: ‘What information is there to be given
  18. about Ragnarok? I have not heard tell of this before.’

  21. - Prose Edda, Gylfaginning
