Saura /Surya Purana is a Upapurāṇa depicting Śaivism.—In most of the lists [of upapurāṇas] in the fifteenth place, there is the mention of one Saura, the repository of all the ends of life or Surya/Saura, an extremely wonderful work. It is to be noted that the present Saurapurāṇa calls itself a supplement to the Brahma Purāṇa and says that it deals with the topic connected with Shiva and consists of two Saṃhitās, the first Saṃhitā being declared by Sanatkumāra and the second by Sūrya to Vaivasvata Manu.
