My humble pranams to all.

Hope someone will clear my following doubts.

1. Parakala Nayaki, Parangusa Nayaki.  Tirumangai
Mannan's name was Parakalan, so I can understand him
as Parakala Nayaki.  I thought Nammazhwar's name was
Sadagopan (Pls. correct me if I am wrong) and how he
became Parangusa Nayaki.  Did someone kept this name
or he himself called him so.   

2.  Perumal and Piratti.  We do Tirukalyanam to Divya
dampathis.  At the time of sangalpam the pandits use
Vadula gothram, Bhargava gothram, etc.  As manushya
avathar: Perumal as Vamanan, Raman, Krishnan.  Which
gothram we use for Tirukalyanam and why that gothram
alone?  Any pramanams? And for Thayar why Bhargava
gothram?

3.  Vyasar says, VEDA SASTRAM PARAM NASTI NA DAIVAM
KESAVATPARAM SATYAM SATYAM PUNA SATYAM UDRUTYA BUJAMUC
HYATE. (I am sorry if I spelt wrong).  In this, why
Vyasar says three times Satyam?  We consider Vyasar
also as amsavathar and if he says once Satyam is that
not enough or is there anyother meaning why he says
three times.  May be somebody will explain this by
quoting some acharyas upanyasams.

Sri Rama Jayam
