English Translation

लक्ष्मिसम्पन्न: possessed of auspiciousness, लक्ष्मण: Lakshmana, शरीरत: अपि even by offering his body, सर्वप्रियकर: doing every thing dear to him, तस्य रामस्य for that Rama, अपर: another, बहि: प्राण इव like life moving outside (his body).

English Commentary

Lakshmana, possessed of fortune, was the dearest to his brother than his own body. As though he was his life without.
