''Sigrdrífumál'' ("sayings of the victory-bringer", also known as ''Brynhildarljóð''〔 The title ''Brynhildarljóð'' is used especially in reference to those parts of the ''Sigrdrífumál'' which are quoted in the ''Völsunga saga''. See Pétursson (1998), I.460f.〕) is the conventional title given to a section of the ''Poetic Edda'' text in Codex Regius. It follows ''Fáfnismál'' without interruption, and it relates the meeting of Sigurðr with the valkyrie Brynhildr, here identified as ''Sigrdrífa'' ("victory-bringer"). Its content consists mostly of verses concerned with runic magic and general wisdom literature, presented as advice given by Sigrdrifa to Sigurd. The metre is ''fornyrðislag'', except for the first stanza. The end is in the lost part of the manuscript but it has been substituted from younger paper manuscripts. The ''Völsunga saga'' describes the scene and contains some of the poem. ==Name== The name ''Sigrdrífa'' means "victory-urger" or "inciter to victory",〔Orchard (1997:194).〕〔Simek (2007:284).〕) and is in an epithet of the valkyrie Brynhildr. It occurs in Fafnismal (stanza 44), and the prose following stanza 4 of the Sigrdrifumal glosses it as the valkyrie's name. Early editors of the text have followed this lead and given the title of ''Sigrdrifumal'' to this section of the Codex Regius text.〔"Editors, until recently, have followed him in this error, failing to recognize that "sigrdrifa" was simply an epithet for Brynhild. It is from this blunder that the so-called Sigrdrifumol takes its name. Brynhild's dual personality as a Valkyrie and as the daughter of Buthli has made plenty of trouble, but the addition of a second Valkyrie in the person of the supposed "Sigrdrifa" has made still more."
