Agastya rishi is the correct answer for you question. Agastya was one of the most important vadic sage of Hinduism. He was included in major Hindu epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. According to vadic records, Agastya has a miraculous birth as he has neither human father or mother but born from a womb made up of Mud pot.
According to mythical Hindu texts, Agasthya who was born with his twin Vashitha was born out of mud pitcher as follows.
Once, Varuna and Mitra, both Hindu Gods have done a Yajna to summon Apsara urvashi, a pretty celestial woman. It was said to be that they were overwhelmed by the sexuality and beauty of Urvashi, and ejaculate which led their semen to fell into a mud pitcher. Later the mud pitcher turns out to be a womb which lead to the birth of Agastya and Vashitha.
