Jai Sri Krishna

I come to understand that  Various Acharayas and Alavars in 
Srivaishnavam are belived to have divine status as being incarnations 
and expansions (Avatara/hamsa) of the various associates of 
Srimanarayan such as

1) Srimath Ramanuja is Seen as Sesha Avatara
2) Goda Devi-Sri Andal is beleived to be Bhudevi avatara
3) Nammalavar- Vishvaksena
4) Vishnu chitta- Gauda avatara
5) other Alavars- seen as incarnations of the various weapons and
ornaments (shankha, vanamala, kaustabha etc) of Sri Bhagavan.

Now my question is that on what do which base these beliefs upon?
Are these incarnations mentioned in statvika Shastras??? Or did any of 
these Great Personalities mentioned above reveal anything of their  
divine status during their earthly appearance?

Thank you and Jai Sri Krishna
