Where can I locate a Sanskrit version of Atisa's "Wheel of Sharp Weapons"?

Clarification of Question by masprema-ga on 13 May 2002 07:45 PDT

I have searched all over India and Nepal for even a rumour that the
Sanskrit exists, but only have heard "that it was translated from the
Sanskrit to the Tibetan". I am guessing that Dharmarakshita wrote it
down before transmitting it to Atisa, since he was a noted scholar (by
all accounts). I am hoping that someone has knowledge of Tibet, and
Tibetan writings, and from this end it would be possible to know if it
exists.
Thank you.

Hello masprema-ga:

I requested a Sanskrit version of the book you requested from
Tibetbook.com.  Following is the answer I received:

Subject: Re: "Wheel of Sharp Weapons"

Hello,
The version I have is in English.

I am not sure a Sanskrit version exists. The Introduction states:

"The Wheel of Sharp Weapons ... was composed by the great Indian Yogi
Dharmarakshita. From among his numerous disciples, Dharmarakshita 
transmitted these teachings to Atisha (982-1054), who transmitted the
same
to his greatest disciple, Upasaka Dromtonpa and together translated it
into
Tibetan from Sanskrit. The present English translation based on the
Tibetan
text was done by the Translation Bureau of the Library of Tibetan
Works and
Archives."

Hi, 

One of the places where you can buy it is:

Doesn't look like there's a sanskrit version online sadly. 

Hope that works, if not please post a clarification.
