$A$ 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:
