Upapuranas : ウィキペディア英語版
Upapurana
The Upapuranas (Sanskrit: ') are a genre of Hindu religious texts consisting of a large number of compilations differentiated from the Mahapuranas by styling them as secondary Puranas using a disparaging prefix ''Upa'' (secondary). Though, only a few of these compilations originated earlier than most of the extant ''Mahapuranas'', some of these texts are extensive and important.〔Hazra, R.C. (1962, reprint 2003). ''The Upapuranas'' in S. Radhakrishnan (ed.) ''The Cultural Heritage of India'', Vol.II, Kolkata:The Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, ISBN 81-85843-03-1, pp.271-286〕
==The extent==
Similar to the case of the ''Mahapurana''s, a claim has been made in a number of ''Purana''s and ''Smriti''s that the ''Upapurana''s are also eighteen in number, though while making such claims some of the texts like the ''Brihaddharma Purana'' give evidence of their knowledge of the existence of a larger number of the ''Upapurana''s. But, unlike the case of the ''Mahapurana''s, the different lists of eighteen ''Upapurana''s seldom agree with one another with regard to the names of these texts. Lists of eighteen ''Upapurana''s occur in a number of texts, which include the ''Kurma Purana'', the ''Garuda Purana'', the ''Brihaddharma Purana'', the ''Devi Bhagavata'', the ''Ekamra Purana'', Hemadri's ''Caturvargacintamani'' and Ballal Sena's ''Dana Sagara''. In spite of the mention of a particular ''Upapurana'' in different lists under different names, these lists provide us the names of much more than eighteen texts as the ''Upapurana''s. In fact, by examining all the Sanskrit texts which mention the names of these texts, the actual number of the ''Upapurana''s are found to be near a hundred, including those mentioned in the different lists. But, it can not be denied that a large number of these texts have been lost without leaving any trace.〔
