Hence, in the systematising of the Viking religion, the responsibility for Baldr's death also was transferred to him. Like his son the Wolf, he is chained by the Gods; the episode is related in a prose-piece affixed to Lokasenna: "After that Loki hid himself in Franangr's Foss in the form of a salmon. There the Aesir caught him.
A prose-piece tells that Sigurd burnt his fingers by touching the heart, put them in his mouth, and understood the speech of birds. The advice given him by the birds is taken from two different poems, and partly repeats itself; the substance is a warning to Sigurd against the treachery plotted by Regin, and a counsel to prevent it by killing him, and so become sole owner of the hoard.
The prose-piece Sinfjötli's Death also makes Helgi half-brother to Sinfjötli; it is followed in this by Völsunga Saga, which devotes a chapter to Helgi, paraphrasing Helyi Hundingsbane I. There is, of course, confusion over the Hunding episode; the saga is obliged to reconcile its conflicting authorities by making Helgi kill Hunding and some of his sons, and Sigurd kill the rest.
