Question about how to describe bowing

I’m writing a poem where I want to describe a bow that could be simultaneously understood as:

* A bow to a very important employee
* A request for a big favor
* A sign of respect in a temple
* A sign of respect at a funeral

If I say: “He bowed deeply”, is that enough that it could indicate any of those. Do I need to say something more like: “He bowed very deeply”? I want to keep it as ambiguous as possible but still make it possible it could mean any of those.

Thank you for any help.
