How about:

kandam naakentO ish
Tam bahu sundaramu daannaDaka kada cadivE
Tanduku anduku naakaa
nandamu kandamu yoravaDi nantane telusaa !!

As far as I can see (which is not always too far :-), this fixes all the
problems according to the rules, but however much I try, I still feel
that "deennaDaka inchunka kunTu paDindi".

Why?

Is it because vaaDuka bhaasha is being used here? To me it seems that
certainly has something to do with the problem. I don't mean to say
vaaDuka bhaasha is inferior, but the way words break does not correspond
to a natural flow. Although I cannot cite a good example right away, I
thought poems in "graanthika bhaasha" also sometimes suffered from this
problem, although I might have been too busy trying to understand those
bombastic words to notice the problem.
