English Translation
राघव O Rama, प्रागेव even before, तयोः their own, व्यवसितम् decision, एवम् in this way, न स्याद्धि if it was not like that, प्रकृतः by nature, सः that, वरः boon, प्रागेव दत्तः स्यात् would have been given long before.
English Commentary
If both of them had not decided before, O Rama the boon granted to Kaikeyi naturally would have been fulfilled long ago.
