In plain words
Many selves cannot be admitted at all — their domains would run straight into each other. Order holds only where the lordship is one, the way a land is settled under a single king.
Close to the Sanskrit
A manifold self is not at all accepted, because of the contradictoriness of the spheres [of authority]; but when the lordship is one, settled order would obtain, as in the territory of a single sovereign.
