Irrigators direct the water,
Fletchers fashion the shaft,
Carpenters bend the wood,
The wise control themselves.

Irrigators regulate the rivers;
fletchers straighten the arrow shaft;
carpenters shape the wood;
the wise control themselves.

Dāruṃ namayanti tacchakā,
Attānaṃ damayanti paṇḍitā.

Unchanged

• "many-tentacled leviathan" - again, debate around the overall tone.
  • Too Lovecraftian? I agree this is too colourful but I'm actually struggling to write this sentence in neutral language without it reading so watered down as to feel like boilerplate, but that's a problem with the entire document, I suppose. Suggestions very welcome.

Fixed, but require sanity-check

• "When considering alternatives, there are no contenders." - obvious/direct contenders?
