sarvadharmAn after he was taught the karma, gnyaana and bhakti yOgas in order, Arjuna, due to the preciousness and difficulty of the three yOgas, and due to the fact that they were not in accordance with his svarUpa, became sad and worried about how to attain the ultimate thing. Krishna removed Arjuna's worries by saying "Discard everything that I have taught you till now, and take Me as the only means to the goal I will remove all of your obstacles Do not worry".
sarvadharmAn all the dharmas; all the means that were told
before;
parityajya discard them (similar to discarding food we dont
want down to the taste and smell!);
mAm Me, the one who has taken your salvation as my
responsibility/duty;
Ekam ONLY me;
sharaNam as the means;
vraja take, or persevere;
aham Me, who is all Supreme;
tvA you, who has discarded all other means and goals other
than Me;
sarva pApEbhya:- from all the obstacles that stand in the way
of you attaining Me;
mOkshayishyAmi will free you from;
mA sucha: - do not worry
Thus, Lord Krishna removes the worry of Arjuna by saying "Discard all the means along with their auxiliary prescriptions, and take Me, me who possesses all the auspicious qualities such as vAtsalya (the quality of enjoying even the faults of His devotees), ONLY me as the means; I, who am all powerful, will free you the one who is taking only ME as the means - from all of your bindings and give you salvation. Do not worry".
