I'm having a hard time understanding what was Samrat's plan? Why did he go missing and what did he wanted to achieve?
If he wanted Virakhi to get married then he should have sent fake reports of his death and not just of being MIA
OR
he wanted them to have a Bhawani-Ninad type relation or even worse an EMA in the garb of a Devar-bhabhi relation?
I fail to understand how his supposed absence was going to solve the tricky situation
