If the normal at any point $P$ on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ cuts the major and minor axes in $G$ and $g$ respectively,and $C$ is the centre of the ellipse,then:

$A$ ray of light passing through $(2, 1)$ is reflected at a point $P$ on the $y$-axis and then passes through the point $(5, 3)$. If this reflected ray is the directrix of an ellipse with eccentricity $e = \frac{1}{3}$ and the distance of the nearer focus from this directrix is $\frac{8}{\sqrt{53}}$,then the equation of the other directrix can be:
