The _Jáksa_ is, according to his character, distinguished by the following appellations, viz. _Wíra páksa_, when he inclines to the side whence he receives most bribes; 2. _Pátra kilása_, when he goes by what he is told, without duly weighing and considering the merits of the case himself; 3. _Ami jáya_, when he punishes the guilty with severity; 4. _Permána_, when he awards the just sentence of the law as it is written, without lenity or severity.
