I'm having finger trouble today. I meant to ask since the Gayatri mantra from the Rg Veda, became so sacred I would have thought later gayatri mantras would have followed its form, but they didn't, they followed the form of the later gayatri mantras from the Taittiriya Aranyaka.

.... vidmahe

....dhimahI

....pracodayAt

Does any of the Sanskrit literature discuss this?

Thanks,

Harry Spier
