Dear Sri Ramananda:

I'm not sure if your question has been answered yet;
Listed below are some of the relevant hymns from the
Rk-Veda that establish the paratattvam (supremacy) of
Vishnu. 

For a comprehensive discussion, with a translation 
of these verses, please refer Chapters 1 and 7 of 
Dr S.M. Srinivasa Chari's book, Vaishnavism - Its
Philosophy, Theology and Religious  Discipline 
(ISBN 81-208-1098-8).

Rk-Veda:
 
I.22.16:
ato devA avantu no yato vishnurvIchakrame -
prithivyAhsaptadhamabhih

I.22.17:
idam vishnurvichakrame tredhA nidadhe padam

I.22.18:
trini padA vichakrame vishnurgopA adAbhah

I.22.20:

VII.100.4:
