I'm using this it is showing blank value.

var container = $(this).find('description').text();
var ctext=$('p',container).text();
var container=container.substr(0,300).replace(/\s+?(\S+)?$/g, '')+suffix;

It is this container showing both the image and text. I want to get the text i.e in a <p> tag.

The container should be jQuery element/selector, not a text. Try this:

var ctext=$('p',"description").text();
