风神伐由说道：“当依持有纪律的行动与切实的谋略，你也当如此，噢，维克罗摩！大王，那名为罗波那的罗刹——毗湿罗婆之子、普罗萨底耶之后——正是被圣王室利·罗摩旃陀罗凭借有效之手段与巧妙之战术，连同其亲族与侍从一并诛灭。你也应当同样显现你的勇武。”

Educational Q&A
Heroism should be guided by disciplined action and intelligent strategy; righteous aims in war are achieved not by mere force but by well-chosen means (upāya) and tactical skill (yukti-kauśala).
Vāyu addresses a king/warrior called ‘Vikrama,’ urging him to display valor. He cites the Ramayana example of Rāvaṇa’s defeat by Rāma through practical measures and strategic ingenuity, implying that similar resolve and method should be applied here.
