Yama Dīpa Dāna Mantra (commonly attributed to Skanda Purāṇa):
ॐ नमोऽस्तु यमायेशाय धर्मराजाय वेधसे । छायाग्नये च वै प्रोक्तं दीपं दत्तं तृप्यतां मम ॥
oṃ namo'stu yamāyeśāya dharmarājāya vedhase | chāyāgnaye cha vai proktaṃ dīpaṃ dattaṃ tṛpyatāṃ mama ||
This lamp-offering is prescribed for Yama, along with Chāyā and Agni; may this lamp given satisfy them.
About

Yama Dīpa Dāna

Yama Deepa Daana (also written Yamadeepdaan, Yama Deep Daan, or Yamadeepam) is the practice of lighting a lamp for Yama, the lord of death and dharma, on the evening of Krishna Trayodashi of Ashvayuja (Ashwin) month, the same calendar day widely observed as Dhanteras.

Tradition (commonly cited to the Skanda Purana) holds that placing a lamp outside the house for Yama on this evening wards off untimely death for the household. In many homes the lamp is lit with mustard or sesame oil and placed facing south, the direction associated with Yama, sometimes accompanied by a rangoli and a full complement of thirteen lamps around the home in observance of the same evening's Dhanteras rites.
