Hi !
There is the Arya Manjushri Mula-Kalpa, a buddhist tantra about Manjushri, that is available in sanskrit in the internet. There was a threelingual book about Manjushri Namasangiti in the 1980's, I don't know if it is still in print. The Sanskrit Buddhist Literature of Nepal by Rajendrala Mitra contains Namasangiti, it is in print.

I believe this is the Manjusri mantra in Sanskrit:

oṃ a ra pa ca na dhīḥ

A is a door to the insight that all dharmas are unproduced from the very beginning (ādya-anutpannatvād);
RA is a door to the insight that all dharmas are without dirt (rajas);
PA is a door to the insight that all dharmas have been expounded in the ultimate sense (paramārtha);
CA is a door to the insight that the decrease (cyavana) or rebirth of any dharma cannot be apprehended, because all dharmas do not decrease, nor are they reborn;
NA is a door to the insight that the names [i.e. nāma] of all dharmas have vanished; the essential nature behind names cannot be gained or lost.

can I get the Prayer to manjusri which is in tibetan in sanskrit??

[Aemilius]

There are many praises to Mañjushri in tibetan, for example there is Je Tsong Khapa's The Ocean of the Clouds of Praises to Guru Mañjughosha,
I don't know if there are many that have been translated from sanskrit with the original sanskrit remaining.
Did you find the Mañjushri Stotra in the digital sanskrit buddhist canon?
