Neither is correct because the statement asks a man to be humble even after being victorious. This implies that people are usually not humble after the victory.
(l) is just opposite of it. (ll) is not implicit because it generalises the statement.

In one of the questions about the behaviour/nature of child, the explanation was given that we cannot conclude in general about the behaviour. How can we conclude here?
And if we are concluding it should be about "victorious" people not in general.

"Even after being victorious" means that, the person is humble at the very right moment and should continue being humble even after being victorious. So, it does not mean that people are not humble,

If their had been written generally people are not humble after being victorious. Then might be this assumption would be a correct one but here how can we say than generally people are not humble?

Neither is implicit as the statement refers to the victorious people and not the people in general. General attitude of people cannot be concluded from the given statement.

'Generally people are not humble' is not the same as 'people are not humble when victorious', so it must not be implicit.
Am I correct?
