Abstract: On pages 338 and 339 in his first notebook, Ramanujan defined the remarkable product of theta-functions

a_{m, n}

. Also he recorded eighteen explicit values depending on two parameters, namely,

m

, and

n

, where these are odd integers. All these values were established by Berndt et al. In this paper, we initiate to study explicit evaluations of

a_{m, n}

for even values of

m

. We establish a new general theorems for the explicit evaluations of

a_{m, n}

involving class invariant of Ramanujan. For this purpose, we establish several new P-Q mixed modular equations. Using these theorems, we calculate several new explicit values of

a_{m, n}

for

n = 3, 5, 7, 13

and even values of

m

.
