@Neutral Singh: Instead of your extra code, use this:

PHP Code:

$glossary_module_description = strip_bbcode($glossary_content_fetcharray['glossarydescription'], false, false, false); 


And to use this function, you need functions.php (put it in the beginning of the if statement):

PHP Code:

require_once('./includes/functions.php'); 


@jaks: Have a look at Neutral Singh's post and this post. Then just put the $glossary_module_description variable where you want it in the template.
To limit the number of characters, add this after the strip_bbcode line:

PHP Code:

$glossary_module_description = substr($glossary_module_description,0,20); 


Change the 20 to the amount of characters you want
