Dear Sriman Kasturi Rangan,

Here we need not say Vishnu, the antaryAmI of vishNu, since Vishnu 
Himself is the antaryAmI, as His very name indicates so. viSatIti 
vishNu: one Who enters, this has to be understood as one Who has 
entered everything. Also we have mantras which say, as you know,
antarbahiScha tat sarvam vyApya nArAyaNa: sthita:.. etc.

Ramanuja Dasan
Vishnu
