Abstract
Ramanujan stated an identity to the effect that if three sequences , and are defined by , and (here each is a certain rational function in ), then Motivated by this amazing identity, we state and prove a more general identity involving eleven sequences, the new identity being "more general" in the sense that equality holds not just for the power 3 (as in Ramanujan's identity), but for each power , .
