i understand that sAttvika ahankAram as a term is there.

But as per my understanding of tattva traya translation, it is not 
Suddha sattvam but an effect due to unequal transformations of more 
sattva guNa and less rajas and less tamas. Similar view was expressed 
by Smt Vedavalli previously.

Should it be attributed to AzhwArs? Are their works not in Suddha 
sattvam?

PerumAL, the paramAchArya Himself entered their minds on His own 
without any effort by them including surrender. They are hailed by 
pUrvAchAryas as "tvadananya bhAvA:.." (stOtra ratna), "chittEpyananya 
manasAm samamAhitau tE.." (suprabhAtam). Keeping faith in such great 
souls is as good as keeping faith in Him, as done by madhurakavi et 
al.
