[93] **The benefit that he sees in himself**: "Yadattani" resolves into "yaṃ attani" (that which... in himself). "Self" here refers to the view (diṭṭhi). He sees two benefits of his own view: a benefit pertaining to this present life and a benefit pertaining to the life to come.
What is the benefit of the view pertaining to this present life? Whatever view the teacher holds, the disciples hold that same view. The disciples honor, respect, revere, venerate, and esteem the teacher who holds that view; and on that account they obtain robes, almsfood, lodging, and medicinal requisites for the sick. This is the benefit of the view pertaining to this present life.
What is the benefit of the view pertaining to the life to come? He expects fruit in the future thus: "This view is sufficient for becoming a nāga, or a supaṇṇa, or a yakkha, or an asura, or a gandhabba, or a great king, or Inda, or Brahmā, or a deity. This view is sufficient for purity, for purification, for complete purity; for release, for liberation, for complete release. By this view they are purified, cleansed, completely purified; released, liberated, completely released. By this view I shall be purified, cleansed, completely purified; released, liberated, completely released." This is the benefit of the view pertaining to the life to come.
He sees, beholds, observes, contemplates, and examines these two benefits of his own view. Hence, "the benefit that he sees in himself."
