After a long speech of mock horror at his own "cruel and filthy" plot against "blameless" Savi, with Vishvambhar playing along with mock chagrin, Vidyadhar chided Vishvambhar for discussing their plan where anyone could overhear ... and proceeded to spill more of his own secrets right there!
Did Pankaj overhear from behind the hedge? Or Ćamaki? Dipu? Savi herself was seen walking about.
Vidyadhar threatened to kill Vishvambhar. How? With his own one hand? Does Vidyadhar, like Balaram, directly give orders to hitmen?
Vidyadhar ordered Vishvambhar to kill Savi for refusing to marry Arjun. Vishvambhar, who had been urging Savi to marry Arjun as if he didn't trust her to obtain the signatures tomorrow, tried to reassure Vidyadhar that Savi would get the signatures, as if that would be good enough without the marriage to frame Savi for murder.
Vishvambhar reacted with surprise when Vidyadhar said that he didn't want the signatures at all, only the marriage. Evidently, Vidyadhar misspoke; he does want the signatures because he knows that the property will become a trust unless Arjun signs it away, but the signatures aren't useful until after the marriage. It has to look like infatuated Arjun signed his property over to his wife, and she impatiently murdered him right away.
This plot requires Savi not to read her own name on the papers she is getting Arjun to sign without reading!
