मुक्तक-शतक में दिगम्बर आचार्य विद्यासागर के 102 हिन्दी मुक्तक हैं। एक पद में निज अमृत मिले बिना भटकना व्यर्थ कहा है; दूसरे में योगी सप्त स्वरों से परे अनाहत नाद सुनता है। ये पद न छन्द में हैं, न गाने के लिए रचे गए, पर साधना-पथ की झलक देते हैं। Muktaka-Sataka gathers 102 Hindi verses by the Digambara acarya Vidyasagara on spiritual striving: wandering is futile until one tastes the nectar of the Self, and the yogin hears the anahata-nada beyond the seven notes. Kansara notes they keep no fixed metre and are not meant to be sung.
