Source: Shodhganga: The saurapurana - a critical studySūryapurāṇa (सूर्यपुराण) refers to another name for the Saurapurāṇa.—Another manuscript mentioned in India office catalogue by Eggeling consists of 64 chapters and is practically the same as the Berlin manuscript but contains no chapter on brahmāṇḍagolokavarṇana. In the chapter-colophons the work is called Ādityapurāṇa 13 times, Saurapurāṇa 43 times and Sūryapurāṇa 7 times while one gives no title. In the body of the last chapter i.e. chapter 64, the work is called Saurapurāṇa.
The title Sūryapurāṇa also occurring in some of the chapter colophons of some of the manuscripts of the Saurapurāṇa must not be taken to be the real title of this Purāṇa.

[Sanskrit to German]
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!). Closely allied with Prakrit and Pali, Sanskrit is more exhaustive in both grammar and terms and has the most extensive collection of literature in the world, greatly surpassing its sister-languages Greek and Latin.
