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
