Dear Swamin,
The answer lies in your question itself. I am just swapping the
sequence of information present in your question:
>From what i have learned from their life events, is that both were
very humble and never claimed to be anything other than servants of
the lord.

> Now Sri Vaishnava sampradaya is 100% bonafide according to
shrastras, i just wanted to know which shastras and authority
provide us with the information that Sri Andal and Sri Ramanuja are
Bhudevi avatara and Sesha avatara respectively.

Similar to Sri Kothai Naacchiyaar and Sri Emperumaanaar, bhudevi as
well as adiseshan are humble servants of the lord. We must actually
try proving whether Bhudevi and Sesha really have capabilities that
could be compared with the former in terms of bhagavad and
bhaagavada abhimaanam and priyam rather than vice-versa.

adiyEn,
rAmAnuja dAsan
