A quick look in the index of Ludo Rocher's fine history of puranic literature shows an Auśanasapurāṇa, which is probably what Singh is trying to refer to. P. 138 gives more information about this "lost" purāṇa, which is sometimes conflated with the Vindhyamāhātmya, that Singh also cites. That's probably the basis of the information that Singh is garbling.
