Since Vishvaksena was a nitya suri, why the need for Nara-narayana

From the Bhakti List Archives

What was the a need for the creation of nara-narayana and upadesha to him by
lord narayana after failing to find the perfect disciple in chathur-
mukha brahma, etc. when there were other nitya-suris. 

Thanks
Mohan
