Answer by K Sengupta)
The "I" referred to in the riddle is "stable"
EXPLANATION
Referring to the 1st and the 4th line, we observe that:
-> stable means "safe and secure"
-> stable also means "domain of beasts (or, animals)"
Now, stable-s = table
We know that table is "a place of meeting" This fulfils the criterion laid out in 2nd line.
Also, table-t= able. Since able means "partner of the ready" it satisfies the condition inclusive of line 3.
Consequently, the "I" referred to in the riddle is "stable".
