There was a thread on this list on this. I am travelling. Please search in the archives.

The point is, these Gaayatris have no relation to the 'goddess' Gaayayree. 

But the Gaayatree mantra is the prototype (maataa) after which these are 'generated'.

Kubera 

Raajaraaja / raajaadhiraaja is used as a synonym for kubera in mantrapushpa
। राजाधिराजाय प्रसह्यसाहिने नमो वयं वैश्रवणाय कुर्महे।
स मे कामान्कामकामाय मह्यम् कामेश्वरो वैश्रवणो ददातु।
कुबेराय वैश्रवणाय महाराजाय नमः ॥ 2 ॥

Dear list members,
The Vaikhanasamantraprasna contains this gayatri mantra
rājarājāya vidmahe
dhanādhyakṣyāya dhīmahi
tan nas somaḥ pracodayāt

Monier-Williams identifies dhanādhyakṣya as Kubera.
Is this a gayatri mantra to Kubera or to Soma as the moon, or to the elixir Soma?

Thanks,
Harry Spier
