render :partial => ‘row’, :collection => @some_collection
…will create a local variable ‘row_counter’ inside your partial.
You can then do:
<% @row = row -%>
<%= text_field ‘row’, ‘name’, :index => row_counter %>

you can obtain the current index from within the partial by using
<partial_name>_counter. ie, if you called your partial via:

render(:partial => ‘books’, :collection => @book_list)

you could use books_counter to retrieve the current index.
