Explanation
P states the first lesson of the discipline S1 names: win without pride, lose without bitterness. R's 'Then' adds the next lesson - that error or selfishness disgraces the whole side. S broadens the idea: equanimity brings order into people's lives. Q describes the resulting poise - no longer swayed by gusts of passion - which S6 extends from the field to life itself. Hence PRSQ, option D, is correct.
