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.
