Purana iterally meaning "ancient, old"is a vast genre of Indian literature about a wide range of topics, particularly about legends and other traditional lore.The Puranas are known for the intricate layers of symbolism depicted within their stories. Composed originally in Sanskrit and in other Indian languages,several of these texts are named after major Hindu gods such as Vishnu, Shiva, Brahma, and Adi Shakti.The Puranic genre of literature is found in both Hinduism and Jainism.
The Nrusingha Purana is one of these texts and its has special significance because it contains many storys related to lord vishnus incaration as Rama.
Nrusimha Purana is one of the Upapuranas. R.C. Hazra in his Studies in the Upapuranas came to the conclusion that the original text was written in the later part of the 5th century, though several portions of it were added much later. This work was translated into Telugu about 1300.
The Naradiya Purana or Narada Purana (Sanskrit: नारद पुराण, are two Sanskrit texts, one of which is a major Purana of Hinduism, while the other is a minor Purana (Upapurana). Both are Vaishnavism texts, and have been a cause of confusion in Purana-related scholarship. To prevent confusion, some scholars sometimes refer to the minor Purana as Brihannaradiya Purana.
