How this Nimbalkar family became successful at the court of Nizam was with the arrival of Raja Janoji Jaswant Rao, who accompanied Nizam-ul-Mulk Asaf to Deccan from Delhi due to the unstable succession crisis over there. The heroism and excellence of conduct impressed the Asaf Jah, and after his death his son Anand Rao, another brave soldier succeeded his father.
