Auðun svarar:  "Herra, þat er á yðru valdi, en engu játum vér øðru en þessu er vér høfum áðr ætlat."  Þá mælti konungr: "Hví mun eigi þat til, at þú farir leið þína, sem þú vill?  Ok kom þá til mín, er þú ferr aptr, ok seg mér hversu Sveinn konungr launar þér dýrit.  Ok kann þat vera, at þú sér gaefumaðr."  "Því heit ek þér," sagði Auðun.
