Very recently, Pushpa and Vasuki (Arab. J. Math. 11, 355–378, 2022) have proved Eisenstein series identities of level 5 of weight 2 due to Ramanujan and some new Eisenstein identities for level 7 by the elementary way. In their paper, they introduced seven restricted color partition functions, namely $$P^{*}(n), M(n), T^{*}(n), L(n), K(n), A(n)$$

In addition, we prove witness identities for the following congruences due to Pushpa and Vasuki: $$\begin{aligned} M(5n+4)\equiv 0\pmod {5},\quad T^{*}(5n+3)\equiv 0\pmod {5}. \end{aligned}$$
