Taittiriya Upanishad 1.11.1

After having taught the Veda, the teacher instructs the pupil: 'Say what is true! Do thy duty! Do not neglect the study of the Veda! After having brought to thy teacher his proper reward, do not cut off the line of children! Do not swerve from the truth! Do not swerve from duty! Do not neglect what is useful! Do not neglect greatness! Do not neglect the learning and teaching of the Veda!

In plain words: When a student finishes his studies, the teacher gives him parting advice. Tell the truth and do your duty. Keep studying and teaching. Pay your teacher what he is owed. Start a family. Never stray from truth, duty, what is useful, or what is great.
