अलर्कोपाख्यानम् — Indriya-Nigraha and Yogic Victory
Mahābhārata 14.30
इति त्वमनुजानीहि राम मा क्षत्रियान् जहि । तपो घोरमुपातिष्ठ ततः श्रेयोडभिपत्स्यसे
iti tvam anujānīhi rāma mā kṣatriyān jahi | tapo ghoram upātiṣṭha tataḥ śreyo 'bhipatsyase ||
因此，罗摩啊，汝当受此劝诫：莫杀刹帝利。应修严峻苦行（tapas）；由此戒行，汝将获得至善。长者的告诫使帕罗修罗摩从报复的暴烈转向自制与灵性功德，指出苦行为忿怒之德药，亦为通向恒久福祉之道。

Educational Q&A
Anger-driven vengeance is to be restrained; instead of destroying an entire social order (the Kshatriyas), one should pursue intense tapas, because inner discipline and expiation lead to śreyas (true welfare) more reliably than violence.
A Brahmin elder (identified in the Hindi gloss as Pitamaha) addresses Rama—i.e., Parashurama—urging him to desist from killing Kshatriyas and to turn toward severe austerities, reframing his response to conflict from retribution to spiritual practice.
