"paro rajase savadom" is the turiya gayatri as per srividya traditions and is not directly related to the vedic savitri being discussed here...although the underlying purport may be have similar interpretations.

Sri Gayatri Matha

Mahaan Sri Chandrasekhara Bharathi Mahaswamigal of Sringeri Sri Saradha Peetham has said that Gayatri is the Highest Mantopadesa and there is no need to seek higher Mantras for one who does Gayatri Upasana daily!
