Sanskrit translation of Thirukkural, written by Sri Thiruvalluvar (1st century BCE), one of the greatest works on ethical livingwas written in Tamil. It consists of 133 athikarams or chapters. Each athikaram consists of 10 kurals (rhyming Tamil couplets) thus making 1330 kurals in total.
Thirukkural is divided into three sections. Section one deals with Aram doing things, with conscience and honor, for the good of the less fortunate, the second discusses Porul realities or facts of life, and the third dwells on Inbam the pleasures that a man and a woman experience in the course of their relationship. It is claimed that this division of Thirukkural is based on the canonical dharma, artha and kama (trivarga) articulated in the Sanskritic classical texts.
S.N. Sriramadesikan whose Tirukkural translation was published in 1961 has translated many other Tamil classics like Ettuthogai, Pathupattu, Silappadikaram, Thiruppavai, Kambaramayanam, Naladiyar etc. into Sanskrit language.

You could try “A Practical Sanskrit Introductory” by Charles Wikner. It is available at http://sanskritdocuments.org/learning_tutorial_wikner/
Try Chitrapur math Samskritam lesson. These were modeled for international citizens. Starts from very basic and hand-hold for deeper insights.

Satish Iyer, I have revised the links of Sanskrit Thirukkural. You can download them now. Regarding the broken links, I guess you are refering to mediafire links. I have stopped uploading to mediafire 5 years back. All new links are from archive.org. Please let me know if you notice any mediafire link that doesn’t work.
