Display index of array that contains error when using Laravel Validator

I am using Laravel's validator but I am having trouble figuring out how to modify the validator to display the index of the array which contains an error. My input rows are named as rows[indexNumberGoesHere][indexNameGoesHere].

As of now, I am going about the validation very simply:

$data = $request->validate([     'rows.*.title' => 'required',      'rows.*.price' => 'required',      'rows.*.quantity' => 'required',      'rows.*.discount' => 'nullable',      'rows.*.description' => 'nullable',      'rows.*.taxable' => 'nullable',   ]);  

How can I go about using Laravel's validator to display a custom message to tell the user which exactly field contains an error? As of now, if the first title is empty, it returns the error: The rows.0.title field is required.

I would like to be able to customize the error text to say something like Row 1: Please fill in the title field.

Thanks in advance.
