Does any work say ‘Vishnuraham’ - I am Vishnu like there is ‘Shivoham’ - I am Shiva?

The Brahmanuchintanam which is attributed to Adi Shankaracharya mentions the term "Vishnuraham":

ahaM viShNurahaM viShNurahaM viShNurahaM hariH |

kartR^ibhoktrAdikaM sarvaM tadavidyotthameva cha || 13||

English Translation: I am Vishnu, I am Vishnu, I am Vishnu, I am Hari. I am bliss, I am full, unborn, and immortal.

Prahlada, in the Yoga Vashista too, mentions the term "Vishnuraham":

avishnuh puujayavishnum

na puuja phalabhagbhavet |

vishnurbhuutvaa yajjedvishnum

ayam vishnuraham sthitah || (Yoga Vashistha, Sarga 31, Sloka 40)

English Translation: The prayer of a Non-Vishnu to Vishnu will not yield any result. Therefore, a seeker has to become Vishnu and then worship Him to achieve emancipation.
