Abstract :
Recently, B. C. Berndt, S. Bhargava and F. Garvan provided the first proof to an identity of Ramanujan. Their proof, which is based on various modular identities, is quite difficult and complicated. In this paper, we give a much simpler proof of this identity by converting it into an identity involving the classical elliptic functions and establishing the identity by comparing their Laurent series expansions at a pole.
