SOURCES FOR THE VERSES
L. de Vallée Poussin ("Materialism (Indian)" in James Hasting (ed.), Encyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics, Edinburgh, 1953, Vol. 8, p. 499n) refers to LTN, SDSam (H), PrPa and MA as the sources for the etävän eva verse. His translation reads as follows: "There is nothing in man except what is visible to the senses. Look, dear friend, at what these so-called scholars call the traces of the wolf' (Italics mine). Apparently he prefers puruso to loko'yam, pasya to hyetad and bahusrutah to abahuśrutāḥ-a composite reading of PrPa and SDSam (H) (G). See Appendix B for details.
D.R. Shastri (p. 202) mentions only one source, viz. TS(P). Mamoru Namai (p. 40n21) refers to PrPr, PrPa, TS(P) and SDSam (H) (G). I have located six more sources in addition to these six: VBh/SVṛ, MVr, SKSVṛ, GVComm., SDSam (R) and LSDSam. However, the census of sources is not claimed to be exhaustive.
Not knowing Shastri's earlier work (in Bengali), Namai gives credit to Sarvananda Pathak (Cārvākadarsana ki Sastriya Samikṣā, Varanasi, 1965) for compiling the extant Bārhaspatya fragments (p. 21 n6). Pathak, however, simply reproduced D.R. Shastri's collection without any explicit acknowledgement.
D.R. Shastri includes the first line of the etävän eva verse in his "Barhaspatyasūtram" (p. 200, No. 19-misprinted as No. 16 in Namai, p. 41) while Namai quotes the whole verse (p. 41, B2). Namai also quotes the piva khāda verse on p. 41n23 but does not include it in his collection of fragments (nor does D.R. Shastri).
The piva khada verse is found in PrPr (twice), ASVṛ (reads sādhu sobhane for carulocane), SKSVṛ (thrice), SDSam (H) (S. reads jātasobhane for carulocane) and SDSam (R). A Tibetan version occurs in MA, after v. 100 (see A.K. Warder, Outlines of Indian Philosophy, Delhi, 1971, p. 35).
