Loki is referenced in two stanzas in ''[[Völuspá hin skamma]]'', found within the poem ''[[Hyndluljóð]]''. The first stanza notes that Loki produced "the wolf" with the jötunn [[Angrboða]], that Loki himself gave birth to the horse [[Sleipnir]] by the stallion [[Svaðilfari]], and that Loki (referred to as the "brother of [[Býleistr]]") thirdly gave birth to "the worst of all marvels". This stanza is followed by:
{{poemquote|Loki ate some of the heart, the thought-stone of a woman,
roasted on a [[Tilia|linden-wood]] fire, he found it half-cooked;
Lopt was impregnated by a wicked woman,
from whom every ogress on earth is descended.{{sfnp|Larrington|1999|p=258}}}}

In the second of the two stanzas, Loki is referred to as ''Lopt''. Loki's consumption of a woman's heart is otherwise unattested.{{sfnp|Larrington|1999|p=296}}
