 gāyatrīṃ is also the reading of the śloka as given in Yogīśvara's commentary on the Bṛhatsaṃhitā 96.62 ed. K.V. Sarma (vol. 2, 2012, p. 1188).

Of interest might also Vaikhānasa-Dharmasūtra II 10 (pasted below). The origin of the practice itself, of course, would be quite another matter...

>> A quick search in the GRETIL corpus seems to suggest that the ultimate source is Viṣṇusmṛti 55.9, but the verse is also attested, among others, in the Garuḍapurāṇa, so it might be difficult to establish Bhaṭṭotpala's concrete source.
