The later root of the title comes from the nature of Taittriya Upanishad which, like the rest of "dark or black Yajur Veda", is a motley, confusing collection of unrelated but individually meaningful verses. The root of this name has been interpreted in two ways: "from Vedic sage Tittiri", who was the student of Yāska or alternatively, it being a collection of verses from mythical students who became " partridges" (birds) in order to gain knowledge. Taittiriya is a Sanskrit word that means "from Tittiri". 4.2.5 Anandamaya - Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth Anuvāka.4.2.1 Annamaya - First and Second Anuvāka.4.1.9 Graduating student's acknowledgment - Twelfth Anuvāka.4.1.8 Convocation address to graduating students, living ethically - Eleventh Anuvāka.4.1.6 Ethical duties of human beings - Ninth Anuvāka.4.1.5 Parallelism in knowledge and what is Om - Seventh and Eighth Anuvāka.4.1.4 A theory of Oneness and holy exclamations - Fifth and Sixth Anuvāka.4.1.3 A teacher's prayer - Fourth Anuvāka.4.1.2 Phonetics and the theory of connecting links - Second and Third Anuvāka.4.1.1 A student's promise - First Anuvāka.The Upanishad includes verses that are partly prayers and benedictions, partly instruction on phonetics and praxis, partly advice on ethics and morals given to graduating students from ancient Vedic gurukula-s (schools), partly a treatise on allegory, and partly philosophical instruction.
This Upanishad is classified as part of the "black" Yajurveda, with the term "black" implying "the un-arranged, motley collection" of verses in Yajurveda, in contrast to the "white" (well arranged) Yajurveda where Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and Isha Upanishad are embedded. The Taittirīya Upanishad is the seventh, eighth and ninth chapters of Taittirīya Āraṇyaka, which are also called, respectively, the Śikṣāvallī, the Ānandavallī and the Bhṛguvallī. It lists as number 7 in the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads. The Taittirīya Upanishad is associated with the Taittirīya school of the Yajurveda, attributed to the pupils of sage Vaishampayana. It is a mukhya (primary, principal) Upanishad, and likely composed about 6th century BC. The Taittirīya Upanishad ( Devanagari: तैत्तिरीय उपनिषद्) is a Vedic era Sanskrit text, embedded as three chapters ( adhyāya) of the Yajurveda.
