万奈摩宁怂恿伊尔玛利宁向波赫亚的姑娘求婚，因为他能打造三宝神磨。伊尔玛利宁答应了。在三宝熔铸成功之前，伊尔玛利宁察看到熔炉的烈火中先后升起了金弓、船、小母牛和犁。我联想到这些幻像犹如伊尔玛利宁戴着VR眼镜看到的虚拟现实。
Väinämöinen encouraged Ilmarinen to propose to Pohja girl because he could make the Sampo God mill. Ilmarinen agreed. Before the successful forging of the Sampo, Ilmarinen saw a golden bow, a boat, a heifer, and a plow rising from the fire of the furnace. I think of these visions as virtual reality that Ilmarinen sees with VR glasses.
语言学家Eemil Nestor Setälä曾提出: 三宝（出产粮食、盐巴和黄金）与其彩色的盖子可能象征的就是富饶盛产的大地和绮丽浩渺的天穹（特别是“彩色”可能源自北欧特有的北极光现象），因而创造三宝就是另一版本的锻造天空。
The linguist Eemil Nestor Setälä once suggested that the Sampo (producing grain, salt, and gold) and their colorful lids may symbolize the fertile land and the magnificent sky (especially the “color” may be derived from the unique northern lights of northern Europe. phenomenon), so the creation of the Sampo is another version of the forged sky.
