সত্যবতী-সুত ব্যাস বিষ্ণু অবতার । শ্লোকচ্ছন্দে রচিলেন কুয়াযোগসার সেই শ্লোক বাখান করিয়া পদবন্দে । রচিল অনন্ত দ্বিজ হরিগুণানন্দে। বিষারদ পদে সেই রেণু অভিপ্রায় ৷ পদে বন্দে রচিলেন অষ্টদশাধ্যায় ॥
ইতি ক্বয়াযোগসার গঙ্গার মহাত্য সমাপ্তঃ ।

The outline of the story:
With the company of Vyasamuni, Indra after leaving his kingdom travelled extensively in heaven and earth but when he returned to heaven he found it desolate. Indra asked Vyasamuni of the cause of its desolation. Vyasamuni replied that it was due to the wrath of Ghora-Candi who was displeased with a Gandharva king-the king of heaven during the absence of Indra, who obtained the blessings of Ghora-Candi from Mahadeva by practising austerities.
At this Indra felt inclined to worship Ghora Candi, and by her blessings, he once more recovered his own kingdom. Vidyadhara, an honest man, heard about the omnipotence of Ghora Candi and worshipped the goddess. Through her grace, Vidyadhara became the king of Campakanagara.
An old man prayed to the goddess, and he was rejuvenated. But owing to the discourtesy shown by Pingala, one of the wives of Vidyadhara, Ghora-Candi disappeared from his home and Vidyadhara became an ordinary man.
