In Hyndluljóð , Freyja expresses himself in a dialogue with Hyndla about the creation of Hildisvini by the two dwarfs:

"Dulin ertu, Hyndla, draums ætlig þér,
er þú qveðr ver minn í valsinni,
þar er gǫltr glóar, gullinbursti,
Hildisvíni, er mér hagir gørðo,
dvergar tveir, Dáinn oc Nabbi."

"You are foolish, Hyndla, in a dream you are, I believe,
when you say that my husband is on the whale path,
where the boar shines, the golden-bristled one, Hildiswini, whom artisans
created for me,
two dwarfs, Dainn and Nabbi."
