In the sequence of enjoying and exposing one of the Lord's kalyANa 
guNAs in each thiruvAymozhi, in this thiruvAymozhi, AzhvAr talks 
about the guNa of the Lord by which He is very easy to worship.

In samskrit, this guNa is called "svArAdhathvam" - the quality
of being very easy to worship, without any difficulty. Just
as in other guNAs, the Lord is infinitely superior to other
dEvathAs, in this guNa also, He is infinitely superior.

Other dEvathAs may require the worshipper to do some sacrifice
(goat, chicken, etc..) and may require very very difficult
penances in order for them to provide something in return for
the worshipper. 

But, our Lord is not like that. It is clear from the sAstrAs 
that HE becomes satisfied with whatever we do for Him. This
is the pramEya for this thiruvAymozhi.

NammAzhvAr removed the ills of all the unlearned in this world
by telling us about the nature of the LOrd - that 
HE does not need propitiation (avAptha samastha kAman), and by
telling us that He is not of the nature of being difficult to 
worship.
