Gender

At the risk of sounding stupid, was Purana a male or a female? The article doesn't say. -WarthogDemon 00:09, 26 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Purana was definitely a male. For the people who are not familiar with indian names, Purana is a male name. It is also not common these days though. Moreover I also looked at various references and Purana Kassapa is addressed as 'he'. That also indicates his gender.
