Thankyou to all those who replied to me. The reason I asked is because
the widely available English translation published by Ramanashrama claims
to be based off a Sanskrit translation of the original Tamil work. I
received a query from a person who was looking for this Sanskrit version
and was unable to find it. I have also been unable to find it. I suspect
there never was a Sanskrit version, the English is translated directly
from Tamil.
