Dear list members, Verse 26 (Sheftelowitz's edition) of the śrīsūktam (in the rg-veda khilas) is the gayatri mantra
mahālakṣmī ca vidmahe viṣṇupatnī ca dhīmahi | tan no lakṣmīḥ pracodayāt | Would that make it older than the gayatri mantras at Maitrāyaṇī-Saṃhitā 2-9-1. Does that make it the oldest gayatri mantra in the form ... vidmahe ... dImahi ...pracodayAt | Thanks, Harry Spier
