Dear Dan,

Spk-pṭ I 86:


kiriyadvayasiddhiyā dhammavinayasiddhi. dhammena hi anusāsanasiddhi, 
vinayena ovādasiddhi. dhammena dhammakathāsiddhi, vinayena 
ariyatuṇhībhāvasiddhi. sāvajjadvayaparivajjanato dhammavinayasiddhi. 
dhammena hi visesato pakatisāvajjapariccāgasiddhi, vinayena 
paññattisāvajjapariccāgasiddhi. gahaṭṭhapabbajitānaṃ 
sādhāraṇāsādhāraṇaguṇadvayasiddhi.


Sv-pṭ I 31 on Sv I 17:

*daḷhikammasithilīkaraṇappayojanā* yathākkamaṃ 
pakatisāvajjapaṇṇattisāvajjesu sikkhāpadesu.

As far as I know, an equivalent to pratikṣepaṇa in this usage in not found.

I get the impression that the Chinese texts introduce a moralistic tinge 
which is not there in the Indian texts. That said, I suppose that for a 
monk the rules are laid down by the Buddha and some of the rules at 
least are definite prohibitions.
