Verse 6.19.1

भुशुण्ड उवाच ।
इत्युत्सवे वर्तमाने तासां वाहास्त उत्तमाः ।
तथैव मत्ता जहसुर्ननृतुः पपुरप्यसृक् ॥ १ ॥

bhuśuṇḍa uvāca |
ityutsave vartamāne tāsāṃ vāhāsta uttamāḥ |
tathaiva mattā jahasurnanṛtuḥ papurapyasṛk || 1 ||

Bhusunda continued. Thus while the goddesses were in the acts of their merriment, their bonny vehicles or carrier birds also caught the infection, and indulged themselves in their giddy jigs and giggles, and in tippling the red blood of their victims for their liquor.
