I guess I didn't see this thread for a long time. Sharad's query has been answered by Nature.
Nature, about 'Putra' being son you are right. But note the extra 'a' in my post. In devnagari, it is written as putraa - and is referred to as female. But there is a bit of confusion there. In old texts, it is often mentioned that all other rivers are 'nadi' (river in sanskrit - female gender) and Brahmaputraa is the only 'nad' (river - male gender) owing to its immense size. In that case, the 'son' fits. But when they refer to it, they keep the reference as female. Self - belief is the most potent force.
