Taittirīyopaniṣat 01.01

Brahman is truth, knowledge, infinite, and bliss; the one with all powers. He is praised by all gods, known as Lord Viṣṇu, ever-present and most beloved.
A reference is provided from Yajur Veda Saṃhitā, where the following aspects of the Upanishad come to light:

• Lord Vishnu first taught this knowledge to Brahma, who imparted it to Varuna, and then Varuna imparted it to sage Brugu.
• It is a praise to Lord Acyuta, who is of fivefold nature, complete, consisting of food and other realms, and also speaks to various acts of the wind god.
• Just before attaining liberation, sage Brugu praised Lord Achuta with these hymns. Lord Janārdana, being well-pleased, gave knowledge and eternal liberation to him. This shows it is possible to attain final liberation by understanding and practicing the knowledge within this Upanishad.
