Aupapurana
The Aupapurana (Sanskrit: औपपुराण[1]) refers to one of the three major categories of Puranas in the tradition of Hinduism in the Indian subcontinent.[2][3] The other two major categories of Puranas are Mahapurana and Upapurana.[4][5] The number of Aupapuranas are 18.[6] These 18 Aupapuranas are composed in the Sanskrit literature and considered as religious texts of Hinduism.[7] Among the 18 Aupapuranas, the Brihannarada and Harivansha Puranas are most popular. The Hindu scholar Pandit Madhavacharya Shastri has mentioned three categories of Puranas. They are Purana, Upapurana, and Aupapurana.[2]
