The '''Upapurana'''s ([[Sanskrit language|Sanskrit]]: ''{{IAST|Upapurāṇa}}'') are a genre of [[Hindu]] religious texts consisting of a large number of compilations differentiated from the [[Puranas|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.<ref name=Hazra>Hazra, R.C. (1962, reprint 2003).
