oh, I do, I do! With my superior intelligence (like Wodehouse says), I
out-maneuvered the pRCCaka and managed to come up with this gem in less
than five minutes; however, unlike the poor ashTaavadhaani, I used pencil
and paper and went through some iterations before converging to a
satisfactory solution. You can verify the yati-praasa matching- here is my
humble attempt:

kandam: mOst klevaru sadaananduDu
best kleenaru seeTu tuDuva bassekki dharan
last clearance sEluku paDi
first klAsuna payanamayye bhAmA maNitO!!

A note: I used English spelling for undeformed English words, and RIT
spelling for Telugized English words.
