Well digested, well sacrificed. (Glossary for the Vahinis)

‘Svahuta’ means ‘May the offering made be well burnt,’ that is to say, well digested. It does not indicate the mere burning out or the total consumption of the offering placed in the fire. From the worldly point of view, only this much is observed. But, the Vedas (Sruti) concede that Fire has a divine form and function besides the commonly known material form and function. The Divine Forms (Gods) are beyond the reach of the senses. So, the Vedas recommend that the Gods be worshipped through rites and rituals. And, Agni or Deity Fire, has in it the source and sustenance of the Gods (Agnirava Deva yonih). Agni is the Divine Principle. He who offers oblations to the Gods through Agni becomes blessed with Divine qualities. Only those who are able to understand this fact can achieve that principle. (LKV, p. 24)
