First there are several typos in the poem. Leaving them aside,
kavipravara as well as the other word (a typo again) are not to be
considered two words. All samAsa's are to be considered single words.
That removes a lot of confusion, I guess. sahajamagu prEma or
gaNapati brOchu in the above poem (after your correction) are distinctly
two words. Otherwise, ti in gaNapati will become guruvu again.
As Pillalamarri garu pointed out, the rules are mostly unambiguous.
