'Dhwani' is a Sanskrit term which literally means 'sound' or 'echo'. But in Sanskrit literature, it refers to 'allusion' or 'implied meaning', technically known as 'aesthetic suggestion', which is comprehended only in the second or subsequent readings of a work, not during the first reading. What the student must have meant is that he was studying how allusion is used in Sanskrit literature (drama, poetry, prose, etc.). It is said to be a very enjoyable subject.
