Dharma is expressed through manners: respectful speech, bodily humility (praṇipāta), and practical service (escorting guests) are treated as integral to the rite, not optional courtesies.
Ācāra/Dharma instruction; it supports social order (varṇāśrama) rather than cosmological narration.
Escorting to the threshold symbolizes sealing the ritual boundary—invited presences are respectfully released, preventing ritual ‘leakage’ and affirming auspicious completion.
