Dear list members,

What is the verbal category of pracodayāt in gāyatrī mantras . For example :
ekadantāya vidmahe
vakratuṇḍāya dhīmahi
tan no dantī pracodayāt

Is it a causative subjunctive similar to the example in Whitney's grammar section 1043 dhārayāt
or is it a benedictive/precative? Is there such a thing as a causative precative?

Thanks,
Harry Spier
