The Achyuta Shataka (Sanskrit: अच्युतशतक, romanized: Acyutaśataka) is a Prakrit hymn written by the Hindu philosopher Vedanta Desika.[2][3] Comprising 100 verses, the Achyuta Shataka extols Krishna, an avatar of the deity Vishnu. The hymn is composed in the arya metre. It is regarded to have been inspired by the Tiruvaymoli of Nammalvar.[4]
