Ed,
not quite a database or a list, but see Michael Witzel's (Harvard) paper
"Substrate Languages in OlD Indo-Aryan (Rgvedic, Middle and Late Vedic)"
for starts. It is available @
http://www1.shore.net/~india/ejvs/ejvs0501/ejvs0501article.pdf
Other than that, Sasha Lubotsky presented a paper entitled "Loan words in
Indic and Indo-Iranian" (essentially a long list) at the Indogermanistische
Fachtagung in Halle last year, but I'm not sure whether it has been
published already. Cheers, Wolfgang Behr
