One can speculate upon the vagaries of the verse, but it's a rash assumption that this refers to black holes.

Black Holes are the invisible remains of Collapsed Stars with an intense gravitational field from which neither light nor matter can escape. Their surface called as 'Switzerlied' is extremely smooth. Black Holes suck every thing within their range, as said in the above verse.
Srimad Bhagavatam was compiled by the Indian Sage Ved Vyasa in ( date unknown) and was delivered in Public in 1357 BC.
