Translation
Being thus informed, the grandson of King Vena immediately began to follow Indra, who was fleeing through the sky in great haste. He was very angry with him, and he chased him just as the king of the vultures chased Rāvaṇa.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Thus being ordered, the son of Pṛthu pursued Indra, who was moving quickly in the sky, just as the king of vultures Jaṭāyu pursued Rāvaṇa.
Tvaramāṇam refers to Indra. The king of vultures is Jaṭāyu.
