Set custom validation message for field in laravel5 form validation?

Question

I want to set custom filed name in laravel5 form validation error messages.

my form validation request class is,

   class PasswordRequest extends Request {

    protected $rules = [
        'old' => ['required'],
        'new' => ['required','same:cnew'],
        'cnew' => ['required']
    ];

    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize() {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules() {
        return $this->rules;
    }

}

Here when old,new and cnew emty, Error message will be like following,

The old field is required.
The new field is required.
The cnew field is required.

I want to display like following instead of above message,

Old password field is required
New password field is required
Confirmation password field is required.

How it is possible in laravel5 Form Request Validation method?

Option 1:

You can define your custom attributes in resources/lang/en/validation.php under Custom Validation Attributes 'attributes' => [], like so:

/*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Custom Validation Attributes
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | The following language lines are used to swap attribute place-holders
    | with something more reader friendly such as E-Mail Address instead
    | of "email". This simply helps us make messages a little cleaner.
    |
    */

    'attributes' => [
        'old'              =>'Old Paaword',
        'new'              =>'New password',
        'cnew'             =>'Confirmation password'
    ]
