'vennemuka gala/lEni pranulu' to the best of my reollection :-), which is
really a translation.

This to me says it all. Striking the balance WHILE conveting the intended
message. Being a purist may miss the audience, unless the audience is supposed
to be 'esoteric'!
'benefiTTu' me thinks can be 'lAbhadAyakam'(as opposed to "prayOjanam").
As 'lAbham' 'pondatam' is implied? in 'benifitting'.
