We propose large generalizations for the “diquark” representations of 
relevant for positive parity heavy baryons, including putative exotic states. Next, within the framework of the Chiral Quark Soliton Model, we calculate heavy baryon masses and decay widths. We show that in the limit of 
all decay widths vanish, including the widths of exotica. This result is in fact more general than the model itself, as it relies only on the underlying symmetries: i.e. and hedgehog symmetry. Furthermore, using explicit model formulae for the decay constants in the non-realtivistic limit, we show that there is a hierarchy of the decay couplings, which may explain observed pattern of experimental widths.
