There are many so-called Ramanujan (summation) formulae and it is interesting to generalize and systematize them. \textit{B. C. Berndt} approached this problem in [ibid. 7, 147-189 (1977; Zbl 0365.10021); J. Reine Angew. Math. 303/304, 332-365 (1978; Zbl 0384.10011)]. The purpose of the present author is also to generalize and provide a unification of some of Ramanujan's summation formulae in a different direction from Berndt's. In the present paper, nice theorems are obtained (for example, one of them has the famous Ramanujan's formula \[ \sum^{\infty}_{n=1}n^{4M+1}/(e^{2\pi n}-1)=B_{4M+2}/2 (4M+2) \] as its consequence). Remarkable is Theorem 5.2 which can be viewed as a multidimensional generalization of Lambert series often appearing in analytic number theory.
