[Advaita-l] siksha valli ?

Hello,

The taittiriya upanishad seems to have three sections
: siksha valli, brahmananda valli and bhrigu valli. I
would like to know if these "vallis" are particular
only to this upanishad or are they found as
categorization tags in other parts of the vedas also?

Thanks!
Mayuresh.
