Indian Medicine for Chinese Virus - Brazil President tweeted this in response to India giving vaccines to Brazil. Almost 100 countries approached India over the vaccine for Chinese virus looks like. 
Even China conceded that it lost to India.
But my topic here is not Chinese Virus or Vaccine Diplomacy but Lord Hanuman. There is a temple in Tamil Nadu at a place Ayyangarkulam for Lord Hanuman. It was built by Lakshmi Kumara Tatacharya, the Guru of Vijayanagara Emperor.
The story goes that when Tatacharya was travelling in that area with a quantity of gold and was threatened by bandits, he prayed to Lord Hanuman who sent an army of monkeys to protect his devotee. He built a temple, dug a Pushkarini and composed a poem extolling Lord Hanuman.
The Lord is called Sanjeevirayar, the Pushkarini, Lakshmi Saras or Tata Samudram.
The Dvisati in full. This is one of the rare compositions which always interested me. Probably, the only place you will find it is here.

Go to any old temple, you will find some verses or compositions which, in most cases are not even recorded anywhere. Kanchi Kamakshi Temple, there is a composition on the Goddess, Srikalahasti, there is a Sanskrit translation of Srikalahasteeswara Satakam -
that's the beauty of Hinduism. We compose. Our compositions are not for our future generations. They are for our Bhakti. If they survive, they survive. If they don't, they don't. But, when we see something, why should we let them slide into obscurity?
