Dear Sri VishNu, 

The thiru-voi-mozhip pAsuram clearly states that one can just realise that He 
is the Lord on seeing Him. In fact, this is mentioned just before the pAsuram 
in the context of Lord thiru-vEnkatamudaiyAn. The message is 'You need not dig 
into vEdic sAsthrAs or AgamAs to establish His supremacy. Just by the looks of 
Him, His supremacy is established. His Grand Stand in thirumalA establishes 
supremacy by our vision'

The thiru-voi-mozhip pAsuram 3-6-9 :

"...nenjinAl ninaippAn evan, avanAgum nEL kadal vaNNanEa"

The Lord is in parama-padham; He has taken various incarnations; However, if 
one with utmost devotion and bakthi instals even at one-s house with affection 
and invite Him, He will come and settle down therein. That is the greatness of 
His easy accessibility. 
'saulabhyathin ellai" The fine print here is the fact that the Lord just not 
resides in the temple sanctum-sanctorum where proper AgamAs and rituals are 
followed but He extends His attribute of accessibility to ones= residence and 
grants divinity to the form the devotee wishes and desires by settling HImself 
in there.

Hope I have made clear to a certain extent.
