FAQs
It lists situations where formal salutations are discouraged—when someone is in danger or distress (such as crossing), carrying a load, missing/engaged within a sacrifice context, or involved in private recreation—implying that etiquette should not obstruct safety, duty, or propriety.
Because the priority is the person’s immediate task and safety; interrupting them for formalities can be impractical or harmful, so dharma here emphasizes appropriateness over ritual courtesy.
It teaches discernment (aucitya): respect is not only about performing gestures, but about knowing when restraint and non-interference better honor the situation and the person.
