Ludwik Sternbach's two papers:
Chanakya in Hitopadesa
The "vasudhavia kutumbakam" is found in the second part of the paper as shloka number 50.
Abbreviations for sources used are given in the beginning of part 1.
Specifically, he mentions that a manuscript of vrddha-canakya and another of chanakya-niti-shastra contain this shloka. He also mentions that the shloka is found in hitopadesha, vikrama-charita and in a slightly modified form in bhartR^ihari's subhAshita-saMgraha.
Sternbach has apparently tried to collect all sanskrit subhashita-s in a single book.
Maha-subhasita-samgraha
He seems pretty convinced about many of the subhashitas being originally from Chanakya.
