B.G 18.66
सर्वधर्मान् परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज। अहं त्वा सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः ॥६६॥
Abandon all other tendencies, come to me alone for refuge. I will liberate you from all sins; do not grieve.
Gīta Tātparya 18.66
The statement "abandon all other dharmas i.e. tendencies," implies "abandon all other remaining tendencies." Which means do your actions with the only recommended tendency - "take refuge in me alone", "with mind on me alone."
अन्यसर्वधर्मान् परित्यज्येत्युक्तशेषत्वेनैव सर्वधर्मानिति वचनम्। "मामेकं शरणं व्रज" इत्यपि "मन्मना" इत्याद्युक्तनिगमनात्मना तद्व्याख्यानम्।
The statement "abandon all other dharmas, i.e. tendencies" implies "abandon all other tendencies." The ancient proverb in sanskrit states, "sarvadharmān" implies "all other remaining dharmas. Thus, the implied meaning here is to focus on the conclusions such as - "take refuge in me alone", "with mind on me", and so on.
"सर्वोत्तमत्वविज्ञानपूर्वं तत्र मनः सदा। सर्वाधिकप्रेमयुक्तं सर्वस्यात्र समर्पणम्॥ अखण्डा त्रिविधा पूजा तद्रत्यैव स्वभावतः। रक्षतीत्येव विश्वासः तदीयोऽहमिति स्मृतिः॥ शरणागतिरेषा स्यात् विष्णौ मोक्षफलप्रदा।"
"With the mind constantly engaged in the knowledge of the highest truth; here, dedication filled with utmost love for all; unbroken threefold worship through 'svabhāva', i.e. ones own nature; unwavering faith that He indeed protects; remembrance of I belonging to Him; surrendering to Him; - by this Lord Vishnu grants liberation."
इति महाविष्णुपुराणे।
- stated thus in the Mahavishnu Purana.
अनादिजन्मकृतसर्वपापेभ्यः। अत्र प्राप्त्यभावात्। धर्मपरित्यागे पापपरित्यागस्य कैमुत्येनैव सिद्धत्वात्॥
The term 'sarvapāpebhyo' implies the sins committed since time immemorial across various births. As sins may not have occurred in the present (birth). By implication postulate, "abandon dharmas" means "abandoning sins".
