Taittiriya Upanishad

1.9

The practice of what is right and proper as fixed by the scriptural texts is to be done along with the reading the texts oneself and propagating the truths of the same. ‘Truth’, meaning practising in life of what is understood to be right and proper, is to be pursued along with regular studies and preaching. Penance, study and preaching; Control of the senses, study and preaching; tranquility study and preaching the ‘maintenance of fire’, study and preaching, offering of oblations in fire sacrifice, study and preaching of the Vedas; serving the guests, study and preaching; the performance of duties towards man, study and preaching; duties towards children, study and preaching; propagation of the race, study, and preaching – all these are things to be practiced sincerely.

Satyavacha the son of Rathitara, holds that truth alone is to be strictly practised. Taponitya, son of Purushista declares that penance alone is to be practised. Naaka, son of Mudgala holds the view that the study and preaching of the Vedas alone is to be practised; that verily is penance; aye, that is penance.
