Abstract
One of Ramanujan's unpublished, unproven identities has excited considerable interest over the years. Indeed, no fewer than four proofs have appeared in the literature. The object of this note is to present yet another proof, simpler than the others, relying only on Jacobi's triple product identity.Keywords
