Búri

Búri was licked free from salty rime stones by the primeval cow Auðumbla over the course of three days.

The Prose Edda includes a quote from a 12th-century poem by skald Þórvaldr Blönduskáld that mentions the figure.

The Gylfaginning section reads as follows: Hon sleikti hrímsteinana er saltir váru.

In Skáldskaparmál Snorri quotes the following verse by the 12th century skald Þórvaldr blönduskáld: Nú hefk mart í miði greipat burar Bors, Búra arfa.

[8] Now have I snatched much of the mead [made a lot of poetry] of Buri's heir Bor's son [Odin]

Búri is licked out of a salty ice-block by the cow Auðumbla in this illustration from an 18th-century Icelandic manuscript.
